50 Is Just an Illusion

Unless you're my brother, for whom turning 50 next week is a reality!  I suppose I shouldn't rib him too much, since I'm not far behind him.

I pulled out some Basic Grey patterned papers from my stash and created this card using stamps from Artistic Outpost.  Both the main image and "illusion" were heat embossed in black.  I masked the swami and lightly rubbed some walnut stain distress ink on the background around him to make him pop.

Thanks for stopping in!
