Hi friends, today we have a fun challenge at Seize the Birthday that Ashwini is hosting asking us to make a birthday card using neutral colors only!
I took this opportunity to make this card be a masculine birthday card!
I used a 3-D embossing folder from Sizzix: Tropical Leaves with kraft paper.
I swiped it with a white pigment ink pad. I let it dry and swiped it a couple of times.
Gina k: Birthday trio die with vellum background.
The sentiment and card is cut from PTI: cocoa bean
I hope you will give this challenge a try and I will see you in the gallery with your neutral birthday card. If you do not want to play with the topping, no problem, just make sure it is a birthday card!
Please check out all the wonderful inspiration from the design team!

LOVE your gorgeous, masculine birhtday card Col! The white ink lightly swiped over the kraft, leaf-embossed background is gorgeous. So happy to be joining you this month! :) xx
Wonderful use of the neutrals, Colleen this is a pretty card!
Seems like you and Barb were on the same color wavelength. Love the mix of bold and script greeting too. A great card for anyone, Colleen.
Looks like we both had the same idea where this neutral challenge. I love your approach and your card.
Col, you and Barb had the same idea for your neutral card. Love the white ink on the Kraft. I actually thought you used both kraft and white on a white card. Great masculine card.
So perfect for the guys, Col!
Nice! Love the big bold sentiment
I love how you and Barbara chose the same technique, but the looks are totally different. I love your card design and the bold sentiment. Great card, Colleen!
Your design would look fabulous in any color but this one is perfectly masculine!
Fab masculine card, Colleen! Love the touch of white on the raised areas.
Great masculine card, love the big sentiment, Cathy x
Pretty card Colleen. Love the background with that big birthday sentiment.
I would have never thought to do that - swipe white in on kraft paper with an embossing folder. What a cool effect! Great card.
Perfect choices for a masculine BD card! Love the white swiping on kraft!
