Birthday Wishes . . . for a Cool Dude

Christmas is just around the corner ...
and we have several birthdays coming up,
a couple just before and a couple just after ...

I used a digital stamp called "Cockatoo Rules" from The Paper Shelter.
I can't colour at the moment so it was a real bonus that
this digital stamp comes with a pre-coloured image.

I opened the image in my Silhouette Design Studio, along with cut file (details below)
and sized them to make a 6" square card.
I printed the image panel on textured cardstock and fussy cut the circle shape and around the top feathers of his crest.  Next came the frame (details below), which I cut using my Silhouette Cameo.
I manually cut a 6" x 6" top folding square card base, adhered the frame, then adhered the fussy cut image panel.  The crest feathers really pop against the background. 
What do you think?


I used the negative pieces to mat the inside of the card.


This cool dude is the perfect image for the Birthday Boy,
he used to race motorbikes, now he sells them.
