Layered Guy Card

This birthday card was inspired by a card on  Anita Houston's Artful Maven blog. My card is quite simple compared to Anita's card. Sometimes I find it difficult to come up with card ideas for a guy. So I'm very thankful to Anita for the inspiration!

I love all the ephemera Anita used. I created my own ephemera making my tag to fit my card and stamping it with a Tim Holtz date chart stamp. Tim's ticket was stamped on red cardstock with distress ground espresso. The brown layer was dry embossed with Tim Holtz's Sizzix Alterations Bottle Caps folder.
