Grunge Birthday Card

Hi Bloggers! Sorry I have been neglecting my blog all week but it's been very busy at home and at work so I have not had much time for crafting. And to top it off, I caught a cold from my two year old, Ethan, so I'm trying to recoup and get better fast for all the upcoming events! Wow, wish I could stop time sometimes! LOL  Anyways, I wanted to share a male birthday card I made.  Since I couldn't really do my usual copic coloring of cute images, I whipped out my Tim Holtz stuff and went "Grunge" for this card.  I had so much fun!!! Everything is pretty much TH! I used his line of Kraft paper and used my distress tool around the paper.  I stamped on the tags with some TH random stamps I had.  On the tags, I used TH distress inks in "Broken China", "Brick Red", "Vintage Photo" and "Peeled Paint".  I used distress clear crackle paint in "Rock Candy" on top of the tags and thought it came out cute.  The bingo button is also TH.  I also used some crackle paint in "Vintage Photo"  in random spots of the card.  The brown button and twine are from my stash.  I also stamped "Celebrate You" on the card from two different stamps.  Hope you all enjoy it and have a wonderful week! :) Stay well!!!
