QFTD128 F4A132 Telescoping Oak_lb

Photo Details

Poster: Clownmom

Today's F4A challenge was to make a birthday card. My neighbor Bob and I share a birthday -- which is on Monday. We've been neighbors for over 25 years, and I always try to make a special card for him. In looking through Kathleen Lammie's gallery for a QFTD card, I found this telescoping card and thought I could adapt it for Bob.

Love this technique, and your tree is colored/shaded wonderfully. A terrific "guy" card. Wonderful tribute to Kathleen as well.
