Papertrey Ink Craft Brew and King of the Grill masculine birthday card

 


Hello everyone and welcome to another challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.



This time we have our birthday theme and I pulled out some old supplies to make a masculine birthday card.



I used the Papertrey Ink Kraft Brew stamp and die set for the beer glass and inked the stamp with 3 shades of ink to get a good beery colour before white embossing the sentiment on the glass. The burger was made with the King of the Grill stamp and die set. For the background, I used a plaid patterned paper from my stash and added some brown card which I embossed with a zig-zag embossing folder. Finally the die-cut sentiment was cut with brown card and then stacked and offset slightly in some white cuts. When I finished, I thought the beer looked a little bland with the beer foam just plainly cut in white card. I tried embossing it with a dotty embossing folder, but it didn't add much, so I tried using some snow marker painted across the die, and then I heated it with a heat gun to give a much more satisfying bubbly look.

You'll find lots more inspiration over on the ATSM blog and you can link your entry in the gallery over there.

I'd like to play along at




Thanks for stopping by.

This is a fabulous masculine card, Carol ! One can quite imagine being drinking this beer in an old pub thanks to the great background you've made. Very clever to use the snow stuff to make the foam, it gives a fab dimension. Hugs x

Wonderfully fun card! It instantly puts me in mind for the languid days of summer where scrumptious BBQ meals are a seasonal must.

This is a fantastic card and idea for the frothy top of the beer. I’m going to put that on a wishlist.
