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

Card Recipe:

• Lili of the Valley Lick of Paint (I used rubber but now available as a digi)
• Versafine Ink Pad
• Sentiment printed using Take Warning font

I've been inspired by:

• Simon's Monday Challenge - Paint
• Country View - Letters and/or Numbers
• Simon's Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Happy crafting
Annette
