Happy Birthday!

 Hello there!  This is the card I sent my older brother for his birthday!  I hope he loves it.  He lives in AZ so I thought the cactus was a great idea.

Supplies:
Distress Oxides - Rustic Wilderness, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron
Archival ink - Rustic Wilderness (for stamping the cactus)
waterbrush
Tim Holtz - Dotted embossing folder (I used the debossed side since it had the look of a cactus)
Tim Holtz - Mod Cactus, Bold Sayings stamp sets
Tim Holtz - Stacked Deckle die
Ranger embossing ink
Distress embossing glaze - twisted Citron
Stamping platform
heat gun
pop dots

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful day!
