To the Man I Love... Happy Birthday!

Today is my darling husband's birthday. My son and I have spent all day getting ready for him. We made him some birthday cupcakes... decorated by my son with 2 kinds of sprinkles and Skor chippets! YUM! Can't wait to get my hands on those puppies! There's a yummy beef stew in the crockpot just waiting to be devoured! Spencer even made him a card too.

I was looking for some last minute inspiration this afternoon and I remembered that I had seen this awesome card sketch by Card Patterns. So I used the sketch below as my inspiration for my hubby's card...

My husband loves to sail! Living in mountains we don't get to do it very often but it's a part of him so I was inspired to use some of these beautiful stamps by Flourishes...

To the Man I Love...
supplies: stamps, Flourishes; die cut shapes, Spellbinder's; ink, Memento, Ranger; cardstock, Bazzill, Gina K. Designs; game spinner& brad, Tim Holtz; edge punch, EK Success.

I hope you all have a great Friday! My hubby will be home soon to celebrate and enjoy the rest of the evening. I hope you do too!

Great sketch Ally but even better is what you've done with it - awesome (and elegant) masculine card.
