Greetings Dies R Us friends!
Today is my big brother's birthday, so this week's inspirational card is for him. Although my brother is still in his 30's he is such a 'big kid' so this sentiment works well with him, although 'Gus' is the spitting image of my Dad, which my brother may not appreciate...
Dies used include:
This grumpy old guy is Gus (which is my Hubby's name too!) and he is from Bugaboo Stamps. I just love him! I coloured him up with Copics and framed him with the Spellbinders Label 38 before layering him over the Avery Elle Chevron Border. I put some music washi tape sitting behind the Avery Elle Chevron Border, which I'd cut from glitter cardstock.
I have a huge collection of washi tape so I used some colourful spotty washi tape in lines as my 'designer paper' and also for the Taylored Expression Party Banner Border, which was layered over black before I trimmed it down for the front of the card. The first part of the sentiment was cut with one of the Docrafts Xcut Tags & Bookplates.
The inside of the card was decorated with the remainder of the sentiment, also cut with the same Docrafts Xcut Tags & Bookplates, and I used the remainder of the off-cut Taylored Expression Party Banner Border too.
