Happy Birthday Chef

A friend was looking for a birthday card for a male - I thought this Magnolia image of Edwin baking was the purrfect image and ran away and made this card:

RECIPE and SUPPLIES:

• size A2 card with DCWV Mister Stack background
• image was colored using Spectrum Noir and Whisper Strokes Markers with gel pen accents
• sentiment is from Create with TLC cut using a Darice Embossing Die Cut chalked around the edges
• card is wrapped with Baker's Twine (how appropriate for this card), tied in a knot with a button accent from my stash
• sentiment is from Create with TLC which cut using a Darice Embossing Die Cut chalked around the edges

I appreciate and love reading your comments - and hoping you leave me some bloggie love.  

Much love, hugs, and friendship
