This is a card I made for my brother-in-law who has got green-fingers and the stamp set Gift from the Garden was almost made for him! I stamped the background with Hardwood – one of my “go to” faves for masculine cards and used triple mat layering – Whisper White, Crushed Curry Cajun Craze for the flower pots.
I tucked some looped linen behind the triple mat layer and fussy cut the gloves to hang on the corner.
.
For the inside of the card, I used a masking technique for the watering can so that the flower pot and trowel appears tucked behind.
It’s not often that you can be bold enough to send a card and say it’s their “umpteenth” birthday. Only to someone you know well and who may be related and who would take it in good humour! Teehee!
Here’s what I used:

Hope he likes it – his birthday’s next week and not into blogging or Facebook so hopefully he won’t see this!
Enjoy your Sunday – thankfully the weather’s perked up.
