"b" is for birthday

Here is the other card I made for Jo. This one she gave to her stepbrother, so not quite as conservative as the one for her stepfather! LOL! I love that SU has added the lower-case mono alphas cause they are much easier to fit on the card and still have room for some other stuff. If I had this one to do over again, I think I would have highlighted in some way the "b" in birthday so that it was a little more obvious what the monogram letter was all about. Oh well, that's wha'cha get when I try to do two cards on the same night with limited time! :)

I stamped the monogram b on white with Ballet Blue and cut it out, leaving a small border of white all the way around. Then I layered iton a piece of Chocolate Chip c/s and cut it out again. The "Happy Birthday" piece is popped up on dimensionals.


Stamps: Monogram Alpha lower (b), Holidays & Wishes (happy), EFP (birthday)
Ink: Ballet Blue, Close to Cocoa
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Ballet Blue, Whisper White, Tickles d/p
other: copper brads, coordinating ribbon, dimensionals

I love it! It's a great card for a guy but still fun to make. You even managed a little ribbon without making it look frilly. Great job!
