The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.
I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Misty Moonlight card stock for the largest layer. On top of that is a 4' x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) "Waterside Resort" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the Misty Moonlight piece.
Next I cut a 2" x 3-1/2" piece of DSP from the same package and taped it to a 2-1/4" x 3-3/4" piece of Misty Moonlight card stock.
On the backside of the fish DSP you will find the waves image. I cut that piece at 1" x 2-1/2". I taped it to a 1-1/4" x 2-3/4" piece of Misty Moonlight card stock.
The words are from the "Cutest Crew" stamp set and were stamped using Misty Moonlight ink. I used the middle slot from the 'Three Banner" punch to punch them out.
I fussy cut a bobber (I think it's called a bobber) and I took a marker and went around the edges to give it a bit of color so it didn't get lost in the wooded piece of DSP.
I taped the fish layer down first about 1/2" from the fold and about 3/4" from the top and bottom edges.
Next I taped the waves piece on top of the fish layer. It's about 1" from the right side and 1-3/8" from the top and bottom edges.
The "happy birthday" is from the "Cutest Crew" stamp set and was set in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. It's about 2" from the bottom edge and 3/8" from the right side.
I added a couple small Dimensionals to the back of the bobber piece and set it in place on the front of the card at an angle. It's about 3/8" from the bottom edge and the top part of the bobber is about 1/2" from the right edge. And that was it, the card was done.
This was a fun, quick and easy card to make. It's a great masculine card!
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's masculine birthday card,
Wanda
