Birthday Card For Painter/Decorator

Decorators Birthday Card
I have to admit to struggling a bit with this card, the brief  was “for a male, who had been doing a lot of DIY, with a bit of humour!” Simple!?????  In the end, as I didn’t have any suitable embellishments, I went to Scrappin Doodles and downloaded this clipart set:-

I have to admit I am not too keen the green cap, it looks a bit odd, but I added the badge to break it up a bit.
DIY Birthday Card
I’ve done a few simple decoupage layers on the hat, braces, brush and buckets and added googly eyes and tiny buttons.

The paint splashes are clipart images I found on Google. To make them and the buckets  look more realistic I’ve added some Anita’s 3D gloss finish.  The card is A5 in size, printed and based on white linen card.  The outside of the newspaper part is mat and layered on silver mirror card.

    What a lot of work you've put into this card, I think it looks great.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
