Hi everyone, we celebrated my son's 35th birthday this weekend.
Wow, I'm feeling my age lol! He wanted a nice timber chess set for his birthday so I thought this card would suit him too!
The chess men are cut from glossy white and black cardstock but it's hard to see in the pic. They are layered up for some dimension.
The background is stencilled using oxide ink. Same ink used to colour the sentiment.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, make your own background.
Supplies:
Chess dies - unknown brand; Memory Box texture mesh stencil; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; Creative Expressions birthday die; salvaged patina oxide ink; white and black gloss card.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
What a wonderful masculine card!!
