Say “BRAVO” to This Simple, Masculine Birthday Card!

Create this BRAVO Card using the Mini Alphabet Dies and Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up! Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

Today’s project is a simple masculine birthday card. However, “BRAVO” could certainly evolve into a congrats card, too. Love that! This fabulous vintage airplane pattern from Stampin’ Up! Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper (DSP) has met its match, literally, with Copper Clay, Boho Blue and Night of Navy, one of yesterday’s color combination ideas here.

WHAT I LOVE! To create the letters and tag, I relied on the Stampin’ Up! Mini Alphabet Dies (“BRAVO”) and Greetings of the Season Dies (on-line exclusive). Both products are on the list of My Favorite Things because of their style and versatility. See ALL the NEW on-line exclusive products here.

NEED COLOR INSPIRATION?  The color combination for today’s card uses one of the 5 Color Combinations inspired by the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper that I shared yesterday! You can see my Color Combination library here.
