Week 27


Sometimes you need a simple and fast card at the last moment and this was what I came up with. This is a card for a buddy of mine that has a birthday this week. I didn't want to spend a whole lot of time on the card because he is the type of guy that will appreciate the time spent but will not necessarily understand the process that went into it.

Similar to some of the other stencil cards that I have been doing, the sentiment is all there is--in this case, Happy Birthday. This is done in a military stencil font and since the letters are about 1.5 inches tall, this font works well since there aren't any small connectors to worry about.

To spice up the card a little bit, I used a bronze rock pattern embossed paper to add a little interest to the card. The embossing rises through the stencil openings to offer a little texture to the card. The inside will be lined with white linen paper where I will add a handwritten note.

Sometimes, simple can be best.
