Birthday Greetings

The challenge is for  The Shabby Tea Room
The theme this week is to make a masculine card.

Greetings!

How are you all doing?  I hope all is well in your little world!    It is a beautiful fall crisp day here with a temp of 61 degrees F.  I just finished eating lunch and visiting with my Mom.  I went for a walk and enjoyed watching the little squirrels gather nuts.  The leaves are just starting to turn.  I love this time of year!:-)  Ok, on to my card.  Masculine cards are difficult to make.  But, I was up for the challenge. This card is for my brother-in-law.  See me in the car with pig tails?!lol   I knew what paper to use.  And, men like cars, right?  So, I was half there in making a card.  I layered and layered, added stars, and metal dots.  I distressed the edges and used a silver gel pen on the stars.  The brown buttons fit perfectly to finish off the card.  Thanks so much for visiting here today!  Whatever you do I hope you have a great weekend, take care!!:-))
