BG63, SSS, L28: masculine birthday card

Been doing a lot of scrapbooking, but took a break to make a card  for 

one of many birthdays to come in our family.  

I decided to make one a little on the masculine side and used 

Basic Grey's "Oxford" papers with a splash of "Granola".  

I distressed the edges of the star panel and used two distress inks to color the "hi".

I love how it turned out.  Really matches! 

The pup was stamped on the same paper as the back panel, 

but I pounced him a little with Vintage Photo.

Gave the card a little mist of perfect pearls/water.

There's a metallic gem for the collar and a dot of shiny dimensional paint on his nose.

Supplies:

Papers: BG "Oxford" and "Granola"

Stamps: Lawn Fawn "Critters in the Burbs" and "Quinn's ABCs"

Ink: Memento black, Distress in Barn Door and Fired Brick, Vintage Photo

Other: Spellbinders Wonky rectangles, Sizzix star, Hemptique hemp cord, Perfect Pearls, TH edge distressor, gem, shiny fabric paint, Cuttlebug star

I am submitting card into the following challenges:

Basic Grey #63: Wish Upon a Star

Lawnscaping #28: Distress Mania
Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes

Can you see my "watermark"?  

I have fiddled and fiddled and fiddled and FINALLY figured out how to do it!  
Just needs to be bigger...

Thanks for looking,

Kelly
