Angela's PaperArts: Iconic dies grunge birthday card

Last week I shared a 'clean & simple' version of a birthday card featuring the versatile Stampin' Up! Iconic dies.  This week I'm sharing a more distressed/grungy version of the card which has the same cluster of embellishments, but a very different background.

The Stampin' Up! Iconic dies are lovely to work with and can be used for many occasions.  I also used a timber embossing folder similar to the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and did ink blending using the Blending Brushes to give a distressed/grungy feel to the card base.  

The sentiment is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

So which version do you prefer?  The Clean or Grunge version?

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up Iconic birthday card

I always need birthday cards and this one features the versatile Stampin' Up! Iconic dies.

The Stampin' Up! Iconic dies are so cute and this card was quick to make.  I also used the Stitched Greenery die to create the stitched leafy background on the card base.

The sentiment is from the Artistically Inked stamp set and it was punched out using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.
