Birthday Balloon

 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.
