Birthday Wishes!!!

I made this card especially for my DH. Today is his 27th birthday!!! Happy Birthday Andy! I love you!!!

He absolutely loves to hunt and fish, so I decided to go with an "outdoorsy" theme. I don't have a lot of stamps that are appropriate for guys, so I wasn't for sure what kind of card I was going to make for Andy. Then I remembered that I had picked up some stickers by Karen Foster called "Hunting Season"! Perfect!!! So that's where the image on the tag came from. I mounted the tag on SU's! Always Artichoke and Really Rust. I also used SU's! Pine Bough wheel and the sentiment is from their Sincere Salutations set. The designer paper is from Cosmo Cricket's "Wanted Collection", I think that it adds to the "outdoorsy" theme quite nicely. I also did a little distressing on the tag and the Really Rust paper with the brads. Oh yeah, I also clear embossed the sentiment, tag edges, and the torn Really Rust paper. I like the added dimension that this gives the card.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot I got my inspiration from this card on Charmaine's blog! Thanks Charmaine!!!

Well, gotta go! We are having some friends over tonight for pizza and DQ ice cream cake. Yummy! I need to do the dishes and make sure their isn't a bunch of cat hair on our couch!!! LOL!!! Ahhh, the joys of pets!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
HUGS!!!
