Puttin' On The Ritz!......

This card was made for one of my Cricut workshops earlier this year. I like making men's cards as it's a real challenge to lay off the ribbon and flowers, and step outside my comfort zone. The card base is a DL easel, and the papers are from the Wellington 12x12 pack from Dovecraft. The dinner jacket was cut from black, white and grey pearlised cardstock. It was adhered to the front of the card with foam pads. The sentiment was computer generated, the words cut out individually, matted onto blue card then adhered in a random fashion with foam pads. The 'stop' on the base of the card was created with a 'chain' border punch from EK Success. The punched border was adhered to blue cardstock, cut out then adhered to the base of the card with foam tape. 'Happy Birthday' was cut from black card and adhered in the space below the stop. The card was finished with some wooden buttons threaded with 'paper' string tied in a knot. They were adhered to the card with Dovecraft acrylic glue.
