Monochrome Big Birthday Wishes

I made this quick CAS card for a neighbour's birthday using my 'go to' die for male cards and using card from my snippets mountain.


To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" kraft card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Big Birthday Wishes' die
     Snippets of kraft card, white textured card , Papermania 'Wood' paper and white paper

I trimmed the snippet of kraft card so it was slightly wider than the die and cut the large sentiment from the centre before attaching the panel to the front of the card blank.  I attached a snippet of wood effect paper to a piece of white paper to make it the same thickness as the kraft card, and then die cut 'BIG' from it.  I die cut the rest of the sentiment from white textured  card and inlaid all the pieces.  To finish I trimmed two narrow strips of white textured card and attached them down each side of the sentiment panel.  

I am entering the following challenges:

     Daisy Chain Challenge - Birthday
     Love to Scrap - Anything Goes

An excellent masculine card Kath. Great colour and die choices.

The kraft and white combination looks great Kath, and the subtle paper using behind the 'BIG' with the brown and grey tones goes perfectly..a wonderful male card. x
