Birthday Hiker

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your first week of Daylight Savings Time has been good. It's usually a bit tough to realign my body clock for a week and my parrots just know it's a mean joke I'm playing on them. When my daughter was little, she used to tell me she couldn't go to bed because it was still light outside.  Now if I can only find some tiny little parrot wristwatches so they can tell time for themselves.

So for my masculine birthday card, I took a challenge on Splitcoast as my direction on this one. The challenge was to use gradient color, from light to dark. I made the background layer, the strip on the right and the backing oval all gradient colors of brown/orange using my Copics. These are colors I don't use very often but they seemed to work for this card. I overstamped the strip and background using the Lines O'Plenty and Vicki's Versatile Bg using the 3 ink colors. On the main oval, I stamped the Silhouette Hiker and Trees with the brown ink and I stamped the trees again on the large background behind the oval. The Birthday Greeting was inked w/ the 3 inks before stamping. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
