Holy Smoke!!!

Today we're celebrating my son-in-law's 

Big 4-0!!!

Brandon is also a faithful volunteer fireman, so the  Stamping Bella, Gnome Firefighter was a great image for his card!

 I started by stamping the image and using Copic markers for the coloring.   Then I fussy cut around the top edge of the image.  For the background I used the Stampin' Up, Into the Clouds embossing folder and gray cardstock. 

I secured the cloud piece to the top fold A2 card base and then added the completed image .  Then I added the solid green strip across the bottom under the grass.  The "Holy Smoke!!!" sentiment was computer generated then die cut with a fish tail die.  I secured the tag across the bottom of the card to complete the design.
