Masculine Birthday

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. 

It's the start of the weekend. So, I hope you have some fun plans that include some crafting. Or maybe you are celebrating the St. Patrick's Day holiday. We have a big parade downtown tomorrow morning. We don't go because it gets a little rowdy with all the partying that goes on. 

There is also a home show that has been going on since March 8. We did speak with a contractor about doing some updates on our deck. It was on the house when we bought it and the wood now needs replaced. We are going to replace the wood with composite. We are excited for the new look we will have. Looks like work will be started in May.  I will take photos of the completed work and post them here. 

Now onto my card for today. This one I made for my brother for his birthday. I like how it turned out. An outdoor scene makes for a great masculine card. 

I used dies from CottageCutz to create this card. From the Christmas 2023 collection I used the Pine Tree Full, Pine Tree Slim and the Winter Deer dies. The Happy Birthday sentiment is also a die from CottageCutz. I thought cutting it in white cardstock would make it standout on the background designer paper. 

When I assembled the pine trees I splattered a little white acrylic paint. I was after a snowy look. The background designer paper is from Stampin' Up it's a sand shade. 

I think my brother will like this card. He always compliments the cards I send him. Well that's it for me for this post so until next time......God Bless.
