Birthday Boy Blues

Afternoon all,
 
I hope you're all having a good start to the weekend, whatever you're up to. I just have a quick card to share today. I have both a good friend and my Dad's birthday in the next two weeks and once again the dreaded task of making original 'male' cards stared me in the face. So firstly - to cheat - I made the same card, twice! lol! secondly I looked at all the scraps of paper I had and decided that this was going to be my driving force. So here we are:

So I went with lots of layers; base card, black card, white card, blue card, patterned paper and then the second star is raised on a foam pad too!
 
It took longer than I expected to get all the pieces the right size and make it look ok, but I'm fairly happy with the final result.
 
I would like to enter this card into Fussy and Fancy - Monochrome (mainly blues), Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes with Sketch Option (not used sketch) and Dream Valley - Boys/Men

Until next time, happy crafting!
