My Brother's Birthday Card

Hello!

This evenings card is my Brother's birthday card which I'm entering into 4 challenges: Simon Say's Stamp and Fussy and Fancy Friday's - who both wanted Male or Father's Day Cards, Ooh-la-la Challenge #81 of Birthdays and Tuesday Morning Sketchers who provided this layout:
Like most people I hate making male cards and this time was no exception - but my brother's do moan if they don't get a hand made card so I took inspiration from the sketch - incorporated an idea called 'bridging the gap' and this is the result:
 
The papers are one's i've had for a while, the stars are hand cut, the ribbon is from craft fairy and the pips from stash. The sentiment is computer generated. I have to say that for all it's aparant simplicity this was a fiddly card to make. Oh well - I hope he likes it.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting xx
