Embossed Brick Birthday Card

Would you like an idea for a card that would work well for a male or female?  I have one for you today.  Enjoy!

I used various leaves and sprigs from my die collection to fill my milk can.  I love the milk can stamp and enjoy a big red one on my front porch.  If you scroll all the way to the end today, you can see it.  I used White Craft Ink and a little Smoky Slate ink to randomly sponge over the embossed bricks to 'age' them a bit.

I decided to add a torn edge to the embossed layer, for added interest.  I love how this one turned out.

The Country Home stamps make for a nice image to use on the coordinating envelope, as well.  This is one of my favorite stamp sets.  I feel like there's a lot more yet I can do with it.
