Masculine Birthday Card by Linda
Hello! Today I thought I'd share a birthday card that I made for my dad. He is a prolific reader, so I thought this quote from the Fandom collection was perfect for his card! The front of the card was created very simply, using Fandom ephemera and a piece from the paper collection. I popped up some of the ephemera pieces with foam tape. I made use of more of the ephemera pieces on the inside of the card. Cardmaking doesn't need to be hard when you've got patterned paper and ephemera pieces!

Copics used were: Flowers: E00, E01, E02, E95, E99 Leaves: G20, G82 To colour the roses I used a very simple colouring style. On...
