Very Male Birthday

Afternoon all,

I am off to a 50th birthday party tonight. Alexopolous is the surname of the party boy, and of course, that is way too long for any self respecting Aussie, isn't it? He is much better known as Zop....say the long version quickly and you will HEAR it.

Zop is a no nonsense sort of person, so the card I made for him had to be pretty clear cut and without fuss. Zop hails from Launceston in Tasmania and so I thought it fitting that I use this lovely stamp by Lucy of a Tasmanian bridge.

The technique used is gesso resist and I think really suits this stamp. This is so much MORE IRL...a photo doesn't show all the lovely shine from the PearlEx. I so love my PearlEx!

Hope you like it.
