Birthday Card with Tonic

 My grandpa turns 90 this year!  And I wanted to make a special card, but it had to be masculine.  It took a bit of thinking and going through my stash, but I decided to try a Jennifer McGuire technique and do a shadow box card.

The Whaley Great stamp set from Tonic made the perfect scene along with help from Altenew's Bold Numerals.

I made the card 6-1/4" x 5 so that everything fit nicely including the rounded corner die that I used to cut the window.

The back ground was creating by layering Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch for the ocean and Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap along with some Sand embossing powder for the sea floor.
