Happy birthday to a man!

Today's share is a card for a man's birthday.  We all know it's hard to find a "male theme" for a card. This paper just screamed "male" to me, so I decided to me a birthday card with it.   The card is Baja Breeze layered with Soft Suede.  Love that Soft Suede.

I used the Lovely As a Tree stamp set for the image.  I used a variety of colors to color the leaves on the tree--to match the striped designer paper.   That paper is cut to look like a striped ribbon.

And of course I used the Labels Collection dies to cut the shape for the tree and its backing.

 The sentiment came from the Sweet Cake stamp set in the Occasions mini. 

Thanks for stopping in today!! I'll have some Valentines to show you later---it IS almost time to put them in the mail.    Smiles, Laura
