25 Years Work Anniversary | Create A Smile | Avery Elle | Masculine Card

For hubby I always make an exception when it comes to special order for cards. Today is a card he needed for one of his employees 25th work anniversary. It's already been a while since the card was given, so it is safe to share now. 

For this card I went with bold and bright colours. I must admit that the Catherine Pooler inks are fabulous and that there is absolutely no need for re-stamping. The ink gives so good coverage in the first go. 

For the "fireworks" I have used a stamp set from German Create A Smile Stamps. Love their style and that they design nested dies perfect for the European standard card size A6.

For the sentiment I have combined three brands - US Avery Elle, Danish Three Scoops and Danish Gittes Eget Design.

I love to mix and match brands when making cards. I find it gives so many possibilities in the creative process.

I did really try not to make this card to "girlie" but hubby did say it was received with joy - as well as the gift basket. 

Happy summer, 

Pia
