My FIL's 85th birthday was a few days ago and seeing they are taking the ferry over to meet us for lunch today, it was only appropriate to make him a quick card to celebrate this milestone! He didn't want any big hoopla for his 85th (we did that for his 80th) so it's a quiet ushering in of another year.
Kept things pretty basic with nice straight lines as he was a bank auditor for years and is a stickler for perfection and is just a tad anal retentive wink, wink :)
PTI number dies are fabulous as you can't miss the age, and the sentiment is from Verve's Birthday Phrases.
Hoping he likes it!

Wow, love the strong and clean lines. I'm sure your fil will like it, and if he doesn't, you're not to blame lol. Hope you'll have a lovely lunch.
I was a bank auditor for years too (not as many has he was probably -but a lot of them) - must be why I love this. 85 years - that is wonderful and how fun you are having lunch with them today. I wish I lived somewhere where people had to take a Ferry to come see me - you are so lucky! Fab card Marisa and it is perfect for the occasion. Hugz - and give him some hugz for me too!
Love this punchy card Marisa! The balance of the numbers with the layers is just perfect. I'm sure your FIL appreciated this gorgeous card. xxx
Fantastic card, Marisa! Love the embossing you did on the 85!
Hope you all have a wonderful lunch together!
Clean and cool! I love those big numbers. Happy Birthday to your FIL.

Awesome guy card Marisa! Happy Birthday to your FIL!
I hope your FIL enjoyed his birthday card and visit with you! I spy some wonderful texture on those numbers, and I love the crisp design with the peek of striped paper.
