I'm betting my brother will give me a bit of grief for boldly proclaiming his age on this card in a colour he is not fond of, but I just had to use my new PTI number dies and take some big sister liberties LOL! Being as it was a masculine card, I distressed the edges, added different textures and used twine instead of ribbon. A star with a button finished things off nicely.
The rest of the Design Team has some fabulous cards for your inspiration.

These colours do make an awesome masculine card Marisa! Love your big swiss dotted numbers & the star, twine & button trim. Is the diamond texture from an embossing folder? All the texture is fantastic. Great card! Enjoy your weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't think we ever grow out of the big sister "nudging"...I think our brothers still need it! This is a great card, Marisa...perfect for a guy, especially one who maybe needs a little remembrance of what his age really is (literally, not mentally...haha!) Have a great weekend, my dear!
ReplyDeleteMarisa, I love this!! Love all the different textures. Did you score the background - looks absolutely perfect!! Happy B-day to your brother! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think he'll mind because this turned out beautifully =) Well, maybe he will, but I sure don't....you did your new dies proud!
ReplyDeleteoh, cool!! You got the dies too!! Aren't they fun? Did you get the stamp set that goes with them? I'm sure he won't mind you proclaiming his age... or maybe just don't tell him!! I use the trick of telling people I'm 10 years older than I am so they say, "wow! you look fabulous for your age!" ;) Sunny skies so that means our basement floor gets poured! Will pop up and take another picture after school...then we're off to get flooring samples :) Hope yesterday went well at the trackmeet :)
ReplyDeleteSuch fun colors together Marisa...and the layout really works well with the number centre stage...he'll never forget how old he is :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredibly fun and very cool card!! Love those big numbers. Great idea using them for this card. And I spy some crinkled paper! Looks like your paper crimper got a workout. :)
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful, masculine card. I'm almost sure Big Brother will like his card...hope he doesn't find out you showed his age to the world. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnother perfect man's card Marisa; so sophisticated and stylish - unlike the ones I make! Love the colour scheme, distressing and all the details. xx
ReplyDeleteNumber dies would be so fun to have. I love this idea for a birthday card. My son still thinks I am 32 so he could use those numbers..haha. Your brother will love this.
ReplyDeleteColours I would never put together have just been transformed into a little work of art Marisa!! Beautiful take on the challenge! I LOVE it! Hugs Viv xxx
ReplyDeleteFabulous card - I wish that was my number! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous birthday card and am lovin' those big numbers! Love the fun color combo you used and the twine always works on masculine cards in lieu of ribbon!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Love the big numbers and the butcher's thread. Wonderful! xoxo B.
ReplyDeleteLOL I bet he will give you a hard time putting his age on there. But its very fun and a great card.
ReplyDeleteThese colours are perfect for a guy and this card is fantastic. I love all the little added details, Marisa.
