Recently my father-in-law turned 80 years young. and I had picked up this Riley & Co. sentiment knowing the big day would arrive sooner or later and we have a few guys on our list that would smirk at it.
The Norm stamp is from Art Impressions, he is colored with a combination of Copic markers and Polychromos pencils with some white gel pen on the flowers of the shirt. The 80th numbers were diecut with Taylored Expressions just a number set from some textured pale green Bazzill cardstock. There was a case your self Clean and Simple challenge at SCS a few weeks ago and I had started this card knowing I wanted to use Norm for the image and ended up picking this old card of mine as the jump start.
The stamped panel is countersunk behind the Basic Grey printed paper and this one is 6" square in real life. There are no embellishments on this version, and my fil is more of a plaid shirt guy than a Hawaiian one but, the he can fake a good grumpy look when he wants to.
Hubs dad's family had been secretly planning a surprise party for him for months but, due to the ongoing Covid situation the only people who dropped by that day were us (because, we are already in their bubble) So, we were able to drop off our things and Crystyl's families balloons. He was very surprised & tickled. He was on his way down to the lower garage with dog treats for his furbabies when we got there so, this was a taken by surprise shot.
