Happy Birthday Dad

This is the card that I have made for my sixteen year old son to give his Dad, I had strict instructions - not fussy, not soppy and bright colours - lots of scope there then!

He is very into music at the moment, he has recently got his old record player out of the loft and bought new speakers and an amplifier for it.  He is currently working his way through all of his old vinyl albums - it must be something to do with his age - so I chose music as a theme.

The papers are some that I've had in my stash for ages called Rock Star, they have been so useful for boy's cards, I've almost used them all up and that doesn't happen very often.  I used my X-cut star die to cut the stars and layered them onto some hand cut card stock stars.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

I have kept the inside decoration quite simple using some of the same papers and a Pinking Circle die cut.

Card Recipe:

Papers:  Best Creations Inc - Rock Star

Card Stock:  Joanna Sheen - Onyx Stardream

Tools:  X-cut - Star die, Spellbinders - Pinking Circle, Standard Circle and
Ric Rac Border

Sentiment:  Peel Offs from stash
