Yet More Big Birthday Wishes

As regular followers will know, this is my favourite die for male cards - I made this card for one of my neighbours who will be celebrating his 90th birthday next month.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" kraft card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Big Birthday Wishes', Memory Box 'Classic Numbers' and Xcut 'Nesting Stars' dies
     Snippets of kraft card, blue textured card and red sparkle card

I trimmed the snippet of kraft card so it was slightly wider than the die and cut the large sentiment from the centre before attaching the panel to the front of the card blank.  I die cut 'BIG' from a snippet of blue textured card and inlaid the letters into the panel.  The rest of the sentiment was die cut from red sparkle card and inlaid into the panel.  I trimmed two narrow strips of red sparkle card and attached them down each side of the sentiment panel using narrow tape and then trimmed the ends.  I die cut two small stars from red sparkle card and attached them towards the top of the card using small foam pads.  I die cut a slightly larger star from blue textured card and '90' from red sparkle card.  The numerals were attached to the blue star which was then attached to the card with a foam pad.  

I am entering the following challenges:
     Alphabet Challenge - M for Masculine
     As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Die (I've posted several cards made with this die - which is my favourite for male and teenager cards which I always fine difficult!)
     Krafty Chicks Challenge - All Occasions
     Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes
     Snippets Playground - Challenge 489

Absolutely spot on Kath! So perfect for a guy, especially such a milestone too. That gorgeous die would also be lovely decorated with little punches or die cut flowers or butteerflies for a girl or lady - I LOVE it!

THAT is a FABULOUS sentiment die set and works so well for a masculine card in the colours chosen here. I agree with Di about how you could make it feminine too!

Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse shortly. x
