80th Birthday

It's my uncle's 80th birthday next week and my aunt asked me to make him a card for her to give to him.  I really struggle with masculine cards so I hope this is special enough. It's a design I've used before but I've personalised it with both his name and age to make it a little bit more special.



Water-coloured on Langton Watercolour paper with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers:
  • Hair: Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy 
  • Skin: Tattered Rose, Tea Dye, Worn Lipstick
  • Overalls: Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss
  • Steps, hat, shirt: Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain
  • Paint: Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany
  • Ground, brush: Hickory Smoke, Black Soot

I've been inspired by:
Happy crafting
