This card is for our son Patrick. His birthday is this weekend.
This is also for the featured stamper FS341 Heidi Baks. You have a wonderful gallery and congrgratulations on being the featured stamper!!!
Her card has an embossed background, die cuts, and no sentiment. Hers is in grey, and has a ribbon, and banners. I was thinking of putting the sentiment on a small banner but I am looking for input!
I need some advice...The sentiment is going to be "Gears to you" Happy Birthday....Should I put the "Gears to You" (computer generated) on the outside or inside? When I tried it on the outside it seemed a distraction. (but maybe it needs that...)I love the rich chocolate look of this. The gears (Tim Holtz dies borrowed from a friend) were actually cut in a metalic copper but they do NOT look shiny in ANY picture I took. They are roughly the same color as the embossed cardstock (unknown). Ribbon from Jo Ann's.

This is a perfect guy card! I love the sentiment you are going to use, but i think I would put it on the inside. This is just too perfect to do anything else to at all! I don't know how, but you have managed to make gears look almost elegant!

I missed some days in the gallery and hate missing cards like yours! Masculine cards can be difficult but you designed this in such a fun way! Love that color!

Almost looks like a present! A very tinker-y present. I think the sentiment inside would be fine. Really love the masculine simplicity of your card. Thanks for playing along with me on my featured stamper week.
