Hi lovely Welcome to my Weekly Inspirational Wednesday blog. Every week I will post a card with basic instructions that you are welcome to CASE (copy and selectively edit). I have a couple of male friends birthdays coming up in May and making cards for them really takes me out of my comfort zone. For one I find they don't appreciate them, well some do and two I find it really hard to keep them plain, no bling or ribbon. I did a Pinterest search and found a couple that gave me some inspiration. My first one is below, I will share the other one on my next blog. To add a touch of difference to this card I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green ink then embossed it in Clear Embossing Powder mixed with Dazzling Diamond Glitter. This added some bling without being too girly. I was happy with the finished card and look forward to giving it to my friend to celebrate his birthday. CARD RECIPE 1. Card Base of Night of Navy is 10.5 x 29.7cms. Scored at   15cm, burnish wi...
