To design a birthday card for a man is not always the easiest thing (since I love ribbon, blossoms lace and bling - and definitely pink !!). The graphic45 range offers the most amazing designs for masculine projects. This particular friend is not really a golfer so I opted for the car image (my husband said he hopes our friend doesn't expect tickets to Monaco in the card :) Luckily this was 1930 so it will be a bit back to the future:))
In the end I did use a bit of lace and black pearls to add dimension to the card. The 7Gypsies Gaffer tape works perfect with the colours of the paper and I stuck it down with a pinch every inch or so to create a ruffled look. The added photo turns and Tim Holtz tickets just add interest to the design. I even used a red transparency print and my trusted glimmer tag to complete the picture!.
I love the end result - hope you do too:)

Happy scrappin'
Hi there everyone! I'm the (particular friend) for whom Esti made the AWESOME card. It will most probably be the most beautiful card I will ever receive in my life.
ReplyDeleteI am of course going to frame it and hang it in my entrance hall for all to see as it is an exhibition piece.
AND
It might be unbeknownst to her but I thank Esti for using the two tickets, Wish & Hope on the card, for I am at a stage of my life where these 2 small words have huge meaning to me.
Thank you Esti for spending so much time & effort on this card. It is a gift in itself.
And by the way I love driving fast, so the race car is perfect!
Ah my dear friend - you deserve it!!
