Age is Just a Number

Hi Friends! I'm feeling a little sleep deprived right now, so I'm going to make this short and to the point. :)

I needed another masculine birthday card, so I used the Week 2 Viva la Verve March 2013 sketch and the ColourQ #181 color palette. I wouldn't normally think of a bright yellow card as masculine, but with the blues, white, and little black flags, it has a nautical feel to me. And, that can be masculine, right? ;) The card is mostly self-evident, but one thing I will point out is that the dp was originally just blue and white. I added the yellow with a Copic marker to help it tie into the yellow bg cs.

Here's a peek at the inside.

I just realized tonight that I only have 3 birthday cards left in my card stash, and they are all decidedly feminine! So, you'll probably be seeing birthday cards from me for awhile, until I replenish my stock. :)

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
