Still on the ball....

Finally...my oldest brother turns 60 next month.  It's been rather lonely, here in the sixties all by myself!  Being the only girl in the family, I like to tell people that I'm his youngest sister...but that worked much better before the hip and the cane.  Oh well.


This image from Dr Digi's House of Stamps seemed to fit the occasion, and you can find it here.  I've coloured with markers and hand written the sentiment.  Of course, the inside message won't be quite so positive, after all, it is my brother! lol

For the card background, I've used a crackle stamp.....to represent some wrinkles, and added a few patterns of washi tape.  For embellishment...some paper candi, and some die cuts for the corner and the number 60.

Now for some challenges for my card:

    Really like your washi tape idea, and it's a fab boy card! I think it's very restrained for a 60th sibling card, mine would be far cheekier ;) Thanks for joining us at The Crafty Addicts and Good Luck! :)
