Men’s cards are always a nightmare but I think I have made something clean and simple for my brother-in-laws 60th birthday, which sort of pays homage to his artistic interests!
The resin frame measures 7cms x 5cms and came from a pack I found in The Range a while ago now. I put a white card backing behind the frame and then successfully managed to squeeze in the assorted random letters to spell sixty, embellishing the letter “S” with tiny, clear, flat backed gems, covering the “I, T, and Y” with glossy accents. A scattering of gold stars and black dots finished the effect.
I layered the centre panel on silver mirror card and then put the frame in the middle of that, pretty simple really.
Not the sort of card to post perhaps, as it’s extra thickness might take it into the thick letter category, but something a little different for a milestone birthday.
I think it's a perfect card for a man's 60th. I have trouble with masculine cards, too. If only they appreciated flowers a little more...
ReplyDeletelove the versatility of those little frames, bet he loved it.
