For my Brother by Tracey Cooley

Hi Everyone

Today is my big brothers 50th Birthday. He has always been my idol, the person I look up to and one of the people I depend on for so many things. He is one of the most important men in my life, along with my Husband and I would not know what to do without him. So to celebrate this special milestone and show him just how much I care I made him this very special card.

Thanks to Sue Smyth and Ultimate Crafts I had just the things to make this card extra special.

I first cut a 5x7 inch card base in black and inked the edges with just a touch of silver.

Then I cut some Ultimate Crafts Magnolia Lane Typography Paper to cover the base, before adhering ink the edges with a Couture Creations sponge dauber and black ink.

I then cut a strip of Ultimate Craft Obsidian Card stock and embossed it with the Couture Creations Heartsease Chain Link Emboss folder and using another sponge dauber inked the raised chain link a baby blue colour.

I then added some black corrugated card and cut a square of Magnolia Lane Timeless Garden Paper reversed and added a diecut using Magnolia Lane Timeless Die.

Then stamping some left over Pattern paper I used black ink to stamp the postcard image from the Magnolia Lane Magnolia Lace stamp set. and added it over the die cut.

I then added some metal embellishments that suited a male and some glass glitter and of course.... some Couture Creations 2mm Rhinestones to finish off.
