Masculine Birthday Card Featuring Ranger Products

This is a birthday card I made for a guy who owns a wine bar, at one time had a unique mustache, and loves music. The funny thing is that he never received it!! That's another story. Anyway I wanted to incorporate his personality into the card as I continue to explore my masculine side. The focal stamp is by Tim Holtz, the drink stamp is by Inkadinkado, and the sentiment is by Hero Arts. The papers are various substrates from Ranger with the unique one being Kraft Glassine paper, a translucent coated paper that is kind of difficult to explain-you would have to experience it to get a feel for it. The latest product I used is the Distress paint that I stamped the mustache with. Its unique formulation allows for manipulation with water while it's wet which is great for blending but is waterproof after it dries! I LOVE this acrylic paint! It stamped with such detail-it wasn't globby as it's texture is thin-perfect for stamping. It is a sure winner. By the way, here is a link to the inspiration-owner of Motor City Wine which by the way has great live music, especially on Wednesdays! http://motorcitywine.com/about.php
