It's that time!
This month the theme is "Birthday Party" and I believe it was my first time to ink up this stamp from the Very Vintage Labels No. 18 set from Waltzingmouse Stamps. This Spellbinders compatible stamp fit nicely into the Nestabilities die.
This card is for a dear male friend who turns 65 soon. I distressed the striped paper with Black Soot Distress Ink. I added some Cuttlebug Vintage corners and kept the hints of red minimal with some gemstones and a bit of velvet ribbon. The numbers came from the WMS Victorian Alphabet set and the sentiment came from the Fancy Phrases set.
