Birthday Wishes

101_1214 I’m still plugging away at those swaps I mentioned a few days ago!  For this swap I had to create six four by four card fronts with a men’s theme.  I decided to use my card front to create a birthday card for a good friend of ours who's birthday is later in the month.  Years ago he owned a gorgeous red Mustang and even though I know this is a far cry from that hot set of wheels this was the best image I could come up with!

101_1211 The red & black card base is SU card stock.  The white is PTI.  I stamped the image with Palette Noir and colored it with my Copic markers.  The ribbon and brads are from my stash.  I ran the white card stock through my Cuttlebug and trimmed the card edge with a Martha Stewart punch. The image is an old STP stamp I’ve had for years and the sentiment (stamped with Palette Noir) is from PTI.

Today I’m starting to clean up my stamp room.  It’s not a weekend project – it will take much longer than that but I’m plugging away at it.  I do have a few more swaps to finish up later today but I really need to get at least one section of the room organized!

What are you up to today?
