Birthday Card for Male Using CTMH Distress Oxide inks With October Stamp of the Month

Hello Friends!  I hope you are all doing well.  It has gotten hot again in Southern CA.  This weather is just crazy right now.  Please be careful out there as COVID-19 is getting worse and worse; and now we have the flu starting up again.  

I have been having fun using CTMH Distress Oxide Inks.  I love them.  They are so easy to work with and blend o well.  I never knew there was an artist in me for anything other than simple cards and learning how to color.  But, I could sit and create with these Distress Oxide Inks every day and not ever get bored.  Every design is different.  No two are ever the same; which makes them fun to work with.

I created this clean and simple card for my husband; whose birthday is on Halloween.  I wanted something different; so I bought a stamp set with these cute little sayings on them.  I have several family members in mind for cards I plan on using them on.  

I rarely purchase any stamps except CTMH. Most of the other sentiments are ones I get as gifts from friends.  I couldn't resist this set; just because they were different.  I tried to use Halloween colors as well; even the bling is for Halloween.  My husband loved his card; especially the sentiment; because is so different than I normally create for him.
