Today I have a card that will work great for all the guy birthdays - masculine colors and clean design. I die cut two panels using the Stitched Edge Dies from Waltzingmouse. Then I stamped the Spooky Tree Background stamp from Waltzingmouse - in Abandoned Coral Distress ink on the larger panel - and in Kraft Ink on the smaller panel. I stamped this wonderful big sentiment called Best Day (also from Waltzingmouse!) in Smokey Shadow.
I didn't try to match up the tree stampings but placed the panel so a few of the branches flowed into each other and I think it looks like it matches without really matching! I colored a Mirrored Star with Espresso Adirondack ink and adhered it to the top corner (it looks more glassy and shiny IRL!) - and scattered a few brown/tan sequins over the card. The dark colors keep these additions looking masculine.
