Camouflage Grunge

Hi there, Stampin' Friends.  I have a 'camouflage' birthday card to share with you today.  In my attempt to create a masculine card without any camouflage stamps, Gorgeous Grunge fit the bill.  I used several different colors of ink and stamped them onto Crumb Cake card stock. The sentiment from You're Amazing was stamped onto Crumb Cake and cut out with the Apothecary Accents Framelits. I used my piercing tool and pierced two holes and threaded Linen Thread through them and mounted the layer onto a Soft Suede card base.


We had made a birthday cake to go with the card.  It was frosted with white frosting and decorated with blue frosting.  It was only fitting the 'icing on the cake' on the inside of the card should be the same as the frosting on the real cake. I stamped the cake from the Sketched Birthday stamp set onto a scrap of Whisper White with Black Stazon, colored it in with Marina Mist, Crushed Curry, and Smokey Slate, added Crystal Effects to the flame and edge of the plate. I cut the image out using the Apothecary Accent framelits; left the white card stock in the framelit, placed it on a scrap of Crumb Cake, traced around it, removed the framelit, cut the base layer out and adhered the two layer together. The added sentiments were stamped with Soft Suede ink.
