Our challenge is sponsored by DRS Designs and my card features two of their stamps. Bird on a Branch and Happy Moments, Happy Days Greeting. Perfect for a masculine card!
I was positively inspired by a couple of players last week who used text in their background. I remembered that I have this cool paper in my stash and it worked great with the image. I picked up an Archival Ink pad at 40% off so I can do a little (very little) watercolor. I colored the bird with Tombow markers and blender pens on Bristol Smooth card stock. The card is a blend of neutrals, some very muted robin's egg blue and Kraft. I decorated the envelope as well.
The inside has this simple but beautiful greeting.
It's a perfect birthday greeting without even saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY." It can be added if one so chooses. I am just so pleased with how this turned out.
Please be sure to visit the team's blogs, too. They'd love to hear from you.
Have a great day and we'll see you soon!

This is simply perfect - I love the matching envy and everything about your card!
How pretty is this beautiful bird and the designer paper behind it?! I love how the branch spills out of the oval, and the matching envelope is so cool too! NJ!
