Male birthday card

Train card

I was asked to make a card for a friends dad.

I used an A4 card folded in half and used a decoupage design which I bought from my local card shop.

Using the colour from the train topper I kept it to brown and gold with a bit of gold cord wrapped around several times.

The toppers were mounted onto Spellbinders and also thought I would try the way Christina did her bows with the heat gun.

Although you don't usually put ribbons on male cards I thought it looked good and my friend was very happy with the outcome.

Christina says ...

The card is really lovely and the addition of the bow makes it really special. Adding ribbons and a bow to a male card can be just what the man likes and you know what your recipient likes ... so why not.

Because the colour scheme is muted it fits the bill perfectly and I am not surprised that he liked it too.
