Hot Stuff

Had a big storm go through last night. Woke us up and the electric was out. Traffic lights still out this morning. My hubby and FIL poured concrete yesterday for our new deck so fortunately they covered it last night. My BIL has a birthday next week so I needed a masculine birthday card. He loves hot peppers so I used a Doodle Pantry Chili Peppers set for my card. Unfortunately, Doodle Pantry has closed but I still love the images.

The background paper, image and "Hot Stuff" are all from the Chili Pepper stamp set. The "happy" was die cut from Simon Says Painted Happy Birthday die. The Birthday sentiment is from Gina K Birthday Greetings stamp set. I used Fired Brick, Fossilized Amber and Mowed Lawn distress ink. The other dies used were Gina Marie Designs Cross Stitched Rectangles and MFT Pierced Inside and Out Rounded Squares. I added some red brads for embellishments.
I am entering these challenges:

• Tuesday Morning Sketches: sketch of the week 
  
• A Bit More Time to Craft: anything goes
• Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
• Seize the Birthday: anything goes
• Simply Create Too: use a digital image

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope, as we move into the weekend, that you'll find some time to relax and craft.
