My TLC266 "Inside Out" challenge card. I always do finish the inside of my cards, but did a little more than usual on this Vintage Birthday card for my BIL who will soon be turning a very young and active 75. I could not resist using a Vintage/Distessed technique for this special birthday.
I used some of the really pretty DP my girlfriend Sue Nesheim #suen# sent me. So much fun sharing our love for stamping. I love how pretty the faux buttons turned out with the DP. I punched out 6, 1/2" and 6, 3/4" circles for the faux buttons.
Enjoy and Happy Easter to all......

Fabulous card, Nancy! I love the awesome distressed panel, placed at an angle and the faux buttons are really neat! The twills are nice, as is the inside! I'm sure Hal will love his card!

Beautiful card! Love the vintage look and a perfect masculine card. Did you layer the buttons then so it looked thicker like a button, I am assuming so, great idea. There are button punches and dies although it is just as easy to do it with a circle punch. TFS

Both the inside and outside are wonderful! I like the slanted image on the outside. Great choice of colors. The inside rocks! It looks so finished, and professional.
