Male Birthday

Hello!

I have been playing around with some Graphic 45 Paper and
as I have used the Stamp set from Inspired by Stamping - Chalkboard Birthday
I am entering it in their Customer Challenge.







The verse on the left hand side is actually from the paper which is called 'Ty-pog-ra-phy'.

The sentiments have all been stamped on black card with Versamark and then
embossed with Zing 'brown sugar' embossing powder which tones in beautifully with the paper.
I have also distressed the edges but they are not very visible in the photo.

 Hope you like it!
Thanks for looking and happy crafting!
