Happy Birthday Hubby

Today is my Husbands 40th birthday.
Here's his card from me...

The darker grey paper is from MME's Stella Rose "Hattie" pad,
the other piece is from a freebie paper pad by we r memory keepers which was free with a craft mag.
I used plastic templates to cut out the numbers. They do look a little rough don't they? it's times like this that I wish I had not sold my cricut machine.

Here's his card from our daughter...

The checked paper is from the same we r memory keepers pad.
The image is from LOTV and has been coloured with pencils for a change from promarkers. I think pencils look good on kraft don't you?
The 'happy birthday' sentiment stamp is by Inkadinkado.

 Bearly Mine challenges - anything goes
Card Crafter's Circle - make it colourful

The following card has been made for a motorcycle enthusiast who will be 50 tomorrow...

The gauges were designed by myself, if you'd like them too you can buy the sheet HERE for just 80p, there are lots on one sheet in 3 different sizes...

I will say though that I altered the central gauge for my card so that the speedo points to 50, and the milage clock also says 50. I'm happy to change the design to suit your needs too, just email me before you buy.
The sentiment is computer generated also.
The purple paper, although looking quite masculine to me, is actually from the 'little girl' collection by echo park.

  1. Happy Birthday Cyber Brother-in-Law! ;) Have a great day.
    I think the DAZ card downstairs is really pretty.
    Your Hubby card is so stylish and just a spot on masculine card.
    I love colouring on kraft and only use pencils, I love the texture it gives and I think it's a fab layout on your daughter's card.
    The last one is very clever and again, just perfect for a bloke.
    Phew! Love ya. xxx
