Tim Holtz Distress inks with Glitter Happy Birthday Card

Birthday greetings are always so AWESOME especially when there is glitter involved!! 

A physician that I work with is celebrating his 39th birthday, again...Honestly I don't know how old he is, but it is never to late to get a fun card!!!  I gave him this tag that I have been carrying around for no particular reason, but to find a reason to give it away. 

I made this tag so long ago, and I was so unsure of the colors that I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it!!  I actually was waiting until my friends daughter turned 11 this August to give it away, but then I thought why not give it to him!!

 I used Tim Holtz distress inks in concord grape and raspberry in a simple circular application.  I then water distressed the color to give it a nice texture. I stamped the guitar and stars using a CTMH image, in stazon black.  The Happy Birthday message is from a wood mounted stamp from Hero Arts that I purchased at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.  I like how large the message is - sometimes the larger sentiments are very useful for covering blank space.  I applied the glitter using a glue pen.  The last thing I did to accent the guitar was trace a small portion of the bottom with silver ink to make it stand out.

This tag  was so easy and fun!!  You never know what your going to do with something once its made - like I said, I originally thought of this for a young girl.  Who knew it would give a smile to a (ahem, elderly) professional.  :)

Any and all comments are welcome and encouraged.

Thanks for stopping and happy stamping!!
