For my baby bro

My brother was 55 today! here's the card I made for him. He is red-green colour blind, so I used yellow and blue to make a strong contrast on the image.

The stamp was given to my daughter when she worked at Waterstone's Bookshop by a lovely lady who used to come in and chat about crafting. This old Kadoodles stamp was one that she no longer wanted, and it's perfect for my brother, so I borrowed it!

The papers are from stash, I've had them for ages!! I used promarkers to colour the lad and his dog, and used a Spellbinders Deckle Rectangle (one of the first I ever bought! If only I'd known then how my die-addiction would grow!!) to cut him out. The very shiny stickers are from Paperchase. Alas, they seem to have been discontinued, they are brilliant for male cards! The indigo twine was also borrowed from my daughter! The sentiment is by LotV.

You might say that this card is a joint effort between my daughter and me!!

Thanks for looking!

I'm entering the following Challenges:

Clear It Out Challenge - Something for the Boys + die-cut: I used an old Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles die.

Oldie But a Goodie Challenge - use Dies or punches: The Spellbinders die, which is over 3 years old, and the papers, which are at least 6 months old!
