Punny birthday card

I fully appreciate that this card may not be to everybody's taste, so excuse me if you don't like the pun.

Christmas Thank you cards

I stamped the image from the IndigoBlu 'Little Voice' stamp set onto Whisper White card stock and inked over it with Vintage Photo Distress… Continue reading Masculine birthday card
