Cheers !

I have a string of male birthdays coming up so I had to put my thinking cap on ! I received this image of "Tyroler Edwin" in an image swap we had on the Crafts Beautiful forum so it was ideal.

I used to make this card :

Dark red card from The Papermillshop

Papers, lettering, corners and buttons are from Daisie Company "Smells like Autumn"

Brads are from my stash

I inked the edges using Tim Holtz distress inks and I also painted Edwin using them too (something I had seen demonstrated on a blog I came across). I thought it was quite effective and also matched in with the colour theme very well.
