Kiss-a-Bull

My husband's birthday was yesterday (and mine is tomorrow!); this is the card I made for him:
I have had this Sugar Pea Designs stamp set for AGES, but haven't inked it up yet!  It needed just the right occasion/recipient and this fit the bill.  I didn't want to add a lot of patterned paper or distractions, so I stenciled a brick wall on the background.  I think it adds just enough.

Supplies:
Stamps: Sugar Pea Designs "Hug-a-Bull"
Dies: MFT "Blueprints 13" fishtail banner
MFT "Brick Wall" stencil
