Masculine Tag Birthday

Happy Thursday, peeps!  I have a fun birthday card I made for our nephew; it's always a challenge for me to make masculine cards, but I recently got a fun Tim Holtz die, so I pulled out some cardstock, printed paper and went to work:


I diecut a piece of Early Espresso with the die, then backed it with a stripey piece of some scrap DSP from my stash.  Of course, after I adhered the background paper, I decided to stamp the front with some script from Elements of Text in the same color.  I cut a tag with a die I've had for years and don't think I ever used, then stamped a birthday sentiment on it, and added a diecut star and some fun twine.


A simple sentiment went on the inside.  I can't wait to play with these dies some more!  Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

LeAnne, I love your new die! This might be my favorite masculine design ever - love your 'new' tag, that darling star, and tone-on-tone scripty stamping!
