A Sunburst masculine birthday!

Seasons Greetings!

The year is approaching an end and I want to Thank all of you who had helped me along the way. I enjoy preparing projects to showcase to you and also for the great group of ladies that come to my club and classes. Today card is a Sunburst technique that I used to create a masculine card. Sometimes to find a good masculine card is as hard as find a masculine present! The stamp from the set Bring on the cake, added the ideal touch for this card. So, what do you think? Do you like it? Share some love by leaving me your comment. I will be back soon with more for you to see and gather ideas for the coming year! Until then,

Happy Stamping!
