HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY


 Good morning followers today I have a card I made for my eldest son's 25th birthday recently.  I find it hard to make masculine cards as feminine cards are so easy to make and you can embellish them until your heart's content.
It was his 25th so I had to make something special.  Whilst making it, it brought back so many memories of my own surprise 25th birthday party.  Far too many years to remember.  I did use our sketch for this month as it worked perfectly for me.

Sketch # 286 
I've rated this sketch easy and it was perfect for what I need for his card.

A quick peek of the inside of the card.
