Dad's Birthday Card

Today is my Dad's 82nd birthday! 

I tried to make a masculine card for him real quick...

nothing fancy, just hand wrote on the inside,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I used a piece of patterned paper from my stash for the mat. I inked the edge of the card with ColorBox brush pad in black. 

The tag is an old Fiskars stencil that I have had since I started scrapbooking. I then inked around the tag and the flourish with my favorite color....ColorBox spanish olive! I used Stazon ink in jet black, but do not know the brand name of the stamp used for 'dad',  then topped it off with a matte black brad and used pop dots to add a little dimension. 

The bakers twine is from WeRMemoryKeepers.

The faux stitching is made using a Zig pen.

Simply done for a loving and simple man!!

I wish to enter this card at Simon Says Stamps Anything Goes Challenge
