A Silhouette Birthday for a Guy or a Girl!

A quick post from me today -  I've come to realize that I can't stay up every night until 11 pm and then get up for work at 5:30 am and not be tired!!   So I'm hitting the sheets as soon as I post this.  I think I'll read for an hour then shut off the light!   All in moderation right?!

I made this card for the Sketch Challenge over on Split Coast.  What a great CAS sketch!

 My stamps are from Sweet 'n Sassy -  the dragonfly and stems are from Serene Silhouette and the sentiment is from the July Release set Seeing Spots. 

I chose the stamps I wanted to use first - then the ink color - then went in search of some patterned paper that would work with it.  I think these colors would work for either masculine or feminine don't you?  The card base is a piece of Washboard Bazzill Basics and it has textured vertical lines that gives a nice subtle dimension to the card.

Ok - I'm off to get into my book -  I'm presently reading " The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" by Rebecca Wells - I never saw the movie when it came out but wanted too (probably too busy stamping!) -  the book is really good so far so I may look for it on Pay Per View on cable after I finish it!!
