80

I was asked to make a Dad's 80th birthday card for a colleague at work in 'masculine' colours and came up with this...


I've used a very large 8x8 Kraft base to make the card stand out amongst the shop bought cards. The papers are from Papermania's Spots and Stripes metallic capsule collection - I totally love these colours and patterns. The layout is fairly simple but I think the dull gold matting makes it look 'special' enough for such an important milestone birthday.

 I've entered this card into the challenges at:

 Fab N Funky Challenges - masculine
Crafting For All Seasons - milestone celebrations
The Male Room - use letters or numbers
The Paper Shelter - for the boys

 Thanks for popping in

    I like the clean, layered look to this card. The colours are super for a guy and I do like the way you've got a drop shadow on the numbers. Thanks so much for playing along with The Male Room this week!
