Masculine Birthday Twisted Easel Card


Hi! It seems I am needing a few birthday cards! For this one, I made a twisted easel card following Mary's great tutorial at Cardz TV.
Cricut Cartridges:
Nifty Fifties
Truck on page 61 cut 2".
Hwy sign on page 38 cut 3 1/2" and again 3 1/4" because this cut does not have a shadow. The two sizes are not perfect together but it is ok!
Diamond shape mat on page 69 cut 2 1/2"
Wild Card
Celebrate on page 59 cut 4 1/4"
It's Your Day on page 38 cut 7"
I handcut the mat for sentiment "celebrate". Brads are from The Paper Studio. Do you like the wheels! Martha Stewart inking. The truck and sentiment mats are pop-dotted. Solid papers are from my stash!

Challenges:
Celebrate the Occasion - Ch# 26 Birthday- must be an easel card
Birthday Sundaes - Ch# 22 All About Brads (at least 3) Birthday wording on front.
Cards For Men - Ch# 27 Anything Goes
The Paper Variety - Ch#48 - Travel or Transportation

Hope you enjoy this card!
