It is hubby's birthday next month and I still hadn't even given a thought to this and so, like last year, was probably going to leave it to the last minute ... but lucky me, while blog hopping around last week, I came across a fantastic image at Pinky's, which was just perfect for him as he is an avid bowler. Well, I just had to do it straight away, him being abroad at the moment was the perfect time to do it.
The image is from The Crafty Pad, paper from We R Memory Keepers paper pad, which was free in the magazine Simply Cards & Papercraft and stars are Die-Namics. I did the 'STRIKE' word on a Word Document and then coloured it with my promarkers. The Happy Birthday one is a clear stamp.
A close-up of the image, which I printed an extra three times and had so much fun cutting it and layering it up for dimension.
Wow.. so I'm nearly a month early with his card this year yay : D

Wow this is fantastic! Love all the texture and dimension. Great colors! Your hubby will love it. I'm always early making my cards but always late mailing them. I usually put out Jim's card so it's the first thing he sees in the AM, last year I forgot so he had to wait till I got up.
