This card is for Seattle Cousin's birthday. He's a guitarist and former DJ, so normally I try to create birthday cards for him featuring guitars or some kind of musical connection. This Jazz It Up digi (retired) from Di's Digi Stamps is just perfect! To this day, one of my favorite birthday cards for him is this long ago Gibson Bear card (also with a retired Di's guitar digi).
I raided the scraps box again and chose these leftovers from a printout of now defunct Tactile Studio Gather digital papers. I thought they gave a great guy flair, but weren't boringly beige. The sentiment was created with Arial font and the musical notes with Noto Music font. My generic border strip and Gemini Fancy Borders ric-rac dies dress it up a bit, along with some matt brown enamel dots.
This is such a delightful card. The image is just right for a musician and I love your design and paper choices. Thanks for sharing at Double Trouble
