For my card today I recycled some things in an effort to be green. I used left over clear plastic, like from sticker sheets, with alcohol inks by Ranger to create the cool blue background piece. My other green effort is using old bottle caps on cards. I find for our drinking friends and family, they get a kick out of seeing their favorite beer cap on their birthday card. Gives them that personalized feeling that this card was made for them.

The sentiment letters are by Lawn Fawn with ink by Hero Arts. The banner was cut out using my Cricut Creative Memories cartridge Holiday Frames and tags. The outline around the bottle cap is a sponge stamp from eons ago. I pulled it out with some Making Memories paint, stamped and let it dry. You have to have a steady hand when working on a slippery surface. One good thing is if you mess up you can wipe it off and stamp it again.

That's all I have for you today. Be sure to check out the links above for some fabulous manly card inspiration.
