Masculine birthday

Hi everyone! Playing in the masculine challenge over at Simon Says Stamps and they are featuring Tim Holtz products - well it so happens that I had one already done! Bonus!

I bought this set at Joann's. I even used a TH stencil in the background on this. Did a bit of recycling on the corrugated cardboard piece that I saved from a piece of packaging. Destressed it a bit by tearing it and adding some distress ink.

The deckled rectangle was done using a border die, then inked it up with espresso and black soot ink around the edges to appear like it had been burnt. Love this technique.  Birthday sentiment is from PTI and heat embossed with platinum embossing powder. 

Thanks for stopping by!
