Mens easel birthday card

Harry50thSml
I made this card for Harry’s 50th using a bottle cap as the bit that holds the easel up. I have made one similar to this before but I do like to keep most of my cards unique so I have changed a few things.  The stamps used are the same but the patterned paper and colours are different to the last one.
Inks: Memento Tuxedo black, Distress inks Brushed corduroy (very apt) and Frayed burlap
Card:  white card, Basic Grey patterned paper
Stamps:  Stampin up Circle of friendship, Personal Impressions Mens 1
Other:  beer bottle cap, diamond glaze, yellow and blue pen, Liquid applique, copper eyelet and blue ribbon, black gelly glaze pen, gold pen

Cheers! birthday card

Here is an easel card I made a few days ago for someone who likes their beer.  I painted a beer mat to prime it before I stamped the images.  The beer glass has glossy accents on it to make it look like glass and the froth is liquid appliqué.  I bashed a bottle cap then added the greeting and more glossy accents.  The background words were  made on the computer using different fonts, colours and some international ways of saying cheers.

Inks:  Distress inks Antique linen and Frayed burlap, Black document ink
Card:  ivory card, Basicgrey, Hang 10
Stamps:  Stampin up Circle of friendship, Personal impressions Mens1, Dimension Fourth bubbles stamp
Other:  bottle cap, glossy accents, beer mat, brads, liquid appliqué, gold pen, black gloss pen
