Birthday card for my uncle.

Why do I struggle with cards for guys?
We've been going to a local barbecue restaurant occasionally with my mom and aunts and uncles. The free soft serve ice cream is a big attraction! You get to pull a cone from the dispenser and fill it yourself. They have chocolate and strawberry syrup too. That's what inspired this ice cream card!

I stamped and die cut another cone for the inside of the card and stamped sprinkles on it. The inside sentiment says "with sprinkles on top".

Stamps : Hero Arts Color Layering Ice cream
Stencil : Tim Holtz Shifter Burst
Inks : Distress tumbled glass and salty ocean, distress oxide carved pumpkin and ground espresso, archival jet black and potting soil

I was so tempted to add glitter or something to the ice cream ... but then it's a guy card ... and I also didn't want to run the risk of bleeding out the espresso distress ink. Do guys like glitter Daniel?

that was a great idea for the card for him and I love what you did on the inside too... my pastor mentioned he hates glitter one time, I was so tempted to add glitter to his birthday card this past year but I didn't, LOL
