We made retro style birthday cards at my February card clubs. Look at this:
It's perfect for a guy or even a young adult. The Simply Marbelous designer series paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog is absolutely amazing! It does look a little psychedelic doesn't it?!
I covered the entire card front with it; no border at all. I rarely do this but I wanted this unique & special paper to shine! It has 6 different color combinations in it; all monochromatic too! Everyone had a choice of their favorite color.
The birthday greeting is from the Slim Sayings stamp set seen here. We stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black embossing powder.
*There's a video to see how this card was created. You can watch it here.
The car images were stamped with Black Memento ink on a Basic White Stitched rectangle die-cut and then colored in with our Stampin' Up! Blends markers.
I trimmed the balloon image off of the convertible so it could be added to any of the vehicles. See the Driving By stamp set here; it's free with any $50 order through February.
The cute stitched banner is cut from more Simply Marbelous DSP using the Triangle dies.
After the card was assembled we added a finishing tough to the windows – a bit of Shimmery Crystal Effects for some shine.
