Hooray! Another card done for my stash of masculine birthday cards.
The woodgrain paper is one sided with white on the back and some of that show through after I embossed it. Then I used scissors about the edges to rough them up, accidentaly tore off the corner but it all contributes to a distress look. The sentiment is an SU one and punched out with a punch by SU. I die cut a balloon, tied it with raffia ribbon and popped it up with foam tape. Then finished it off with Glossy Effects. Simple but I think perfect for a man.
