My brother will be celebrating a milestone birthday next week too, so I used the FMS sketch to make a card for him; he's an engineer, so I should have come up with something more clever, but this will have to do! First, the sketch:
I pulled out some of those masculine plaids from the new Memory Box pad I got recently, along with some copper foil paper and a retired set called Number of Years:
My off-sets circles are diecut with Night of Navy and Balmy Blue, and the numbers and words were stamped in Night of Navy as well; diecuts are from Stylish Shapes dies:
The copper stars were cut with the Give it a Whirl dies as well as a Paper Rose stitched star die. They coordinate nicely with the copper stripes in the plaid! Finally, a sentiment from the Number of Years set plus a "brother" stamp from Fiskars went on the inside:
After three girls, my parents were thrilled to get that boy! And he's been a bit spoiled ever since, LOL! Thanks for visiting today, enjoy it and be blessed!
Here's a real short video of Cassidy at her latest karate testing:
