Wine and Guitars

 Morning  and I made a birthday card for youngest son who was 35yrs on Thursday-pretty obvious he likes white wine and plays guitar.

I made a stepper card and used stamps from AALL&Create and the bottles of wine and glasses stamps and dies were a craft mag freebie a few years ago,Tonic die-cut sentiment and papers were called Bittersweet Heights.Memory Box bubble die and glossy accents on glasses-looks so washed out due to light -must have taken at least 15 pics in different places and still not happy with best of the lot-never mind-it is what it is!

You're Son is going to love his card! It's lovely, and I can sympathize with trying to get pictures to come out nicely. It's different to get the colors correct sometimes. Thanks for playing along at the Paper Funday Challenge and we hope you'll play again soon.

A super card for your son- great fold and design, fabulous papers. Love that it's personalised with some of his favourite things as I'm sure he will too.
I know exactly what you mean about the light and the photos, it seems impossible to get a good one at the moment!

Hi Carol

Apologies for not being around for a while but I am only just recovering from a really nasty cough and cold. Hope you are keeping well.

Great stepper card, your design makes a fabulous masculine card, although I can think of one or two people it would suit more than others! Really lovely layout and perfect backing papers.
