Echo Park "Note To Self" - Happy Birthday Card

 When I saw the die cut "To Make A Long Story Short", I had  my inspiration for my son-in-laws birthday card. He turned 32 this week, I thought it was just a perfect way just to tell him "Happy Birthday". I used the Echo Park Note To Self papers (Stripes, Inventory, Stamps, Quotes and Element Sticker Sheet) for my card.

I distressed all of my pieced with my Tim Holtz Distressing Tool, inked them with ColorBox Chestnut Roan ink and added them to the front of my card.  I stapled some of the pieces with my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher. My "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the Hero Arts Message stamp set that I embossed with VersaMark and Zing Chestnut Roan ink onto an oval I punched from the EK Scalloped Oval Frame Punch. I placed it and my "3" and "2 "cut outs on pop dots. I also added a fabulous Vintaj Metal Star to the front of the card. I hope you my son-in-law likes his birthday card and that you were inspired to look at the die cuts on your pages for inspiration. Hugs Pammejo
