Birthday Boy - PSC50

Hi, and welcome to Wednesday!   Time for another Perfect Sentiment challenge!  This one will be fun and I bet we have a ton of crafters playing with us this week.  The theme is Happy Birthday!  We all have lots of birthdays to make cards for, so I hope you'll play along with us.  The "twist" on this card is to make it Masculine!  That's right - a boy card.  They are really so hard for me.  If I can't put flowers and lace on it, I'm lost.  ;)

Our sponsor this week is Parables of a Crafter.  The owner of this website/challenge blog is Theresa and she is one of our our DT members!  She's just fabulous.  She is having some health issues right now and if you're the praying kind of person, maybe your could say a little prayer for her recovery from some surgery.
The prize up for grabs this week is a $10 GC to Flourishes!  Wow!  Isn't that a great gift.  Here's a link to their store so you can check it out HERE!

That being said, here is the card that I created for the challenge.

I'm actually putting this card away for a few months and will give it to my dear grandson on his birthday in January.  This little guy just reminds me of him so much.  He is a special needs child and we are so blessed to have him in our family.  He's also one smart kid and is in some AP classes in Middle School this year.

Like I said, I don't do masculine very well.  The best I could come up with was the blue ribbon to add to it.

Materials Used:
  • Image - Big Day Tobie from Some Odd Girls stamps
  • Cardstock - Express It Blending Card; Stampin Up Brillian Blue
  • Designer Paper - My Mind's Eye - Hootenanny collection
  • Sentiment - Verve - Time to Celebrate
  • Ink  Tuxedo Memento Black
  • Ribbon - Stash; 1 3/4" round punch
  • Copic Markers - B0000; B14, B21, B9; E31, E33, E35, E41, E50, E51, E53;G000, G12, G21; R0000, R00, R01, Y17
That's all for today.  Why don't you just pop on over to Perfect Sentiment challenge and see what the rest of the Design Team and our Guest Designer have created for your inspiration.  You can also find links to their blogs on the blog roll on the left side of my blog.  Then get busy and create your own masculine birthday card for that special someone and link it up on the blog and maybe you'll be the winner this week of the prize or be chosen as one of the Perfect 3.  Good luck!

Don't forget to grab our badge and leave a comment on the PSC that you've done so for our blog hop coming up the week of October 10.  It's going to be lots of fun, and I don't want you to miss any of it.
