Welcome to Week 231 at CASology!
The cue word this week prompted me to make a birthday card for my dad. I always seem to run short of masculine cards and, given that he is a retired professional forester, this theme was made for him.
My dad is the one that taught me you can tell the age of a tree by counting the rings and I think of him everytime I see the Concord & 9th stamp used first on the white panel. The stand of trees is added next with the simple PTI birthday sentiment stamped last.
Check out the Design Team cards for some great inspiration!

I love the wood rings in the background Jacquie.
ReplyDeleteI love your take on this Jacquie with the subtle tree rings.
ReplyDeleteJacquie, this is such a soft but masculine card. And that's a great memory to share with your dad :)
ReplyDeleteJacquie, Happy Birthday!! Your birthday card for your dad is very cool...I love the subtle C&9 tree rings as a background for the pine trees. beautiful, sounds perfect for your dad given his line of work (although retired). Great card!
ReplyDeleteThe subtle tree crosscut is perfect for the background, Jacquie.
