Happy Beer Day

 Today's card is one for the boys...

I really struggle with masculine cards but I got a pad of 'industrial grunge' patterned papers - woodgrain and metal effects which I couldn't wait to use. They look great against the kraft card base. The decoupage real ale image is unbranded and I got the letter stickers from a stationery shop. I added a die cut 'happy' greeting and some wooden stud effect brads from Docraft's Bare Basics range.

New Job - Hunkydory

The Range have been selling off a load of craft stuff very cheaply so I picked up some Hunkydory foiled Toppers and patterned card sets suitable for a variety of occasions...

What I used...

Sparkly topper and decorative strip - Hunkydory

Patterned papers - Hot Off The Press

Greeting - die cut circles and black peel-off letters

Matting - dull gold embossed paper

A simple design but the kit only cost 50p and I made 3 cards out of it.
