For this card I tried something different. I used glitter paper on top of the eagle photo and you can’t see it to well in the photo but it has a light glitter to it. I used some stickers to add the birthday greeting at the bottom and on the corners. This card would make a great male birthday card or one for someone who has a birthday close to the Fourth of July.

I made this card with one of my card groups and I just love how it turned out.  This would make a great card to tuck in a present, it is a standard A2 card but without all the bulk. It folds up great in an envelope.

I made this card for a male birthday but it could easily go for anyone else.

I embossed a light blue card stock and mounted it on navy blue card stock.  For the lighthouse I colored it using alcohol markers and then stamped Happiest Birthday to the right of the lighthouse. I mounted the lighthouse with a thin black border and popped it up using dimensionals. For the inside I used a simple sentiment of “Time to Celebrate.”
