Crafty Shenanigans: March Birthday Madness

 Dia dhuit, everyone!

March is here, bringing a parade of birthdays that would make even a calendar blush. Naturally, I've been diving into my craft stash to whip up a masculine card or two. This one showcases the Tie Set  by MyLifeInStamps, a hidden treasure I stumbled upon while clearing out my dwindling card stock. An Amazon spree is tempting, but with holidays and school supplies looming, it's a bit of a financial balancing act.

I've coloured the card using ProMarkers, while the sentiment is stamped with StazOn for a sharp finish. It might be a bit oversized for the card, but hey, it complements the bold colours. Glossy accents on the ties add some flair, and foam tape gives it a pop of dimension. This card practically leaps off the table, demanding attention!

By the way, the berry colour on the card appears purple in the picture, thanks to the phone's auto image enhance feature. In reality, it's more of a rich berry shade. So much for technology, right?

A few challenges:


And now for a chuckle: Why don't crafters ever get lost? Because they always follow the paper trail!

Sláinte!

Oh I love the simplicity and fun-ness (is that even a word?) of your card Wendy. The ties are coloured perfectly and I think the sentiment is just the right size. Thanks for sharing with us at Krafty Chicks challenge. Hugs, Denise x
