Of course we are all aware of the Christmas decorations in shops reminding us of the big December celebration but I have also quite a few birthdays to celebrate (including my own). I counted up and I have made eight Birthday cards this month!
This card is one of the 4 mens cards I made.
I sometimes struggle with cards for men but this one had to be special - Bill, our friend, was 90.
I had my star dies and punches out when inspiration struck - Bill is a star!
The large star was just the right size to use the last two numbers from a TH die and I slightly raised them with some silicon glue.
Bill seemed pleased with his card too!
This card will easily adapt to a Christmas card with a simple greeting.
I hope that in the midst of the Christmas rush you have time to take part and celebrate with us!
Thanks for looking, Chris

What a wonderful masculine card Chris. I love the silver and blues together and the metallic stars are so much fun! Love the plaid backdrop, a great choice for a masculine make. hugs :)
I seem to be quite late to the party, Chris. I had NO idea your birthday was this month. So is Patty's. I only mention that because I know you two became good friends when you met in Paris.
I think your card is fabulous. It's truly a man's card and has just the right amount of embellishments. You have given a super example of celebrating.
Wow 90, what an age!!! He will love your card!
