This sketch was perfect for a 50th birthday card for the husband of a very dear friend of mine. I went with black as he loves riding his Harley and I don't have any chopper images. Plus, I want to poke a bit of fun at him as he rings in the new decade :)Wish I had the embossing folder with the metal hatches on it, but don't, so I used Tim Holtz's brick wall embossing folder instead (aka: old, cracking wall...I know, I'm bad, but I love it lol). A big silver 5 - 0 came next so there is no denying the birthday being celebrated and some silver brads to match the studs on his leather riding jacket and stars as he is the star of the party. I'm going to pay for this, I know it, but it's well worth it LOL!
Have a glorious day.

You may pay for it, but it's well worth it. Gorgeous work! I love the papers you've used - that texture is perfect!
Very classy with all that black and silver Marisa! Perfect for the occasion!
This is so elegant! Love all the added texture with the brads and embossing :) 50 does not seem that old!! LOL I guess we'll always feel that way when we get there :)

Can't think of a better way to start celebrating the big 5-0! Love every bit of it!
Great, Marisa. I love the '50' against that old, cracked wall. I'm sure he will, too. Though, he will probaby pretend that he is insulted..which is what you want, right? :-)
I LOVE it.. and so will he. Seriously what are friends for! lol
black and white cards are always a go to for the milestones. Great sketch and I am sure he loved this.
Perfectly masculine for a 50 year old Harley-lover! I'm sure that he will really dig this card!
You always use the best texture on your cards. I am sure he loved this. Great card.
So striking! Love the colors and the details you added!
