Beer Birthday for Brad

Brad's Birthday was October 28th, so I set out to make him a special birthday card a couple of weeks ago! It's always challenging for me to create masculine cards, so I had to do some tinkering to come up with something. Here's what the end result was:

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

The "Day and Night" Specialty Paper has done it again! Yet another card created with this fabulous Halloween paper that's not a Halloween card – talk about versatility! I started with the white and black newsprint paper, and then used a brayer and combination of Dusty Durango and More Mustard Classic Inks to change the coloring of the white background.
Crystal Effects gives the perfect extra accent to the foam on the top of the mug.
The "Totally Tabs" stamp set lines up perfectly with the Round Tab Punch. But this particular image also worked great with the circle punch! The next time you're at a workshop or class with me, ask to see my "punch sampler" – it will help you discover all of the possibilities of punch/stamp set coordination!
The Jumbo Grommets are easy peasy to set – just punch out a 1/2" Circle Punch, press the grommet through the hole, and bend back the prongs with a Bone Folder! So simple, such a great accent!
The White Gel Pen… such a handy little tool! Used here to make the "O" POP!
