A Manly Birthday Card

The girls youth pastor's birthday was last week so I needed to make a manly birthday card ... that's kind of uncommon since most of my cards are a little more on the girlish side

Here's what I did:

I used the polka dot impression plate for the background texture, an old SU set (Artifacts ) for the collage and Birthday Bash Sentiments for the sentiment

I used mostly browns and black so I added a pop of color with the pure poppy buttons

Inside I made another little collage and separated it from the writing part with a strip of early espresso card stock

Thanks for stopping by!
