Happy Bird-day!

Quick post, for a card I quickly made yesterday. I didn't realize it was a {new} friend's birthday yesterday (longtime friends will tell you I am awful with sending cards on the correct date....for the longest time, my sister would get her card a month early!)
So, I whipped this up from scraps on my desk! The set is older SU! I embossed the CS to mimic the Piggy Tales paper I used and then just watermarked the image and sentiment with clear heat embossing! The gemstones are from the shop at CYDI? and the layout is the current sketch challenge (#171) at Tuesday Morning Sketches. It is also a pretty masculine card, so apropos for Twisted Tuesday 2TC31, since I embossed and got out my power tool, the heat gun....lol



Thanks for stopping by!
HUGGZ,
April

    All the dots (embossed and DP) are great and really go with the large circles. Hope your friend loved it!

    ah, the calendar is just a rough guideline! I too am terrible with being on time for birthdays...I think that's a pretty common cardmaker problem! I love your take on the sketch - fabulous with all the polka dots! Thanks so much for playing at Tuesday Morning Sketches with us :)
