A dear blogging friend of mine has been missing from blogging lately in dealing with her husband's health issues, but he recently celebrated his 75th birthday, so I sent him this card. I chose vanilla, black and gold for the color combo, using a SU! stencil to sponge the background with antique linen distress ink. I used my long overlooked SB labels 18 dies to cut the black panel, adding die-cut numbers with SU! dies and gold glitter paper. I added a little bow from some gold cording and added a Gina Marie Designs die-cut sentiment from gold foil card stock. I kept this simple as I think men prefer their cards that way, but celebrating 75 years is a big deal!
I'm sharing this with the Male Room Challenge #110 - add an age
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great week ahead!

Great color choices! Love how striking the 75 is on the black die cut. The stenciled background is awesome!
What a fabulous masculine design for a 75th birthday! You're always so thoughtful about sending out a smile! I think this will certainly do that! That gold is stunning! Hope you're doing well! HUGS

The sparkly 75 looks fab sat on the black die, really makes an impact which I think men appreciate in particular. It's sure to take pride of place on the mantle piece. Great masculine card x
Masculine and elegant looking. Great design.
A super card Carol, I love the large number and great colour choices for a special Birthday.

Oh Carol, this card is spot on perfection! Love the sponging you did with the stencil and those big numbers! I also love the colors you used! 75 years is a BIG DEAL! Bet he loved it! TFS and have a great day!
This is a wonderful masculine card Carol, although I think it would work for anyone really. I do love that stenciled background and the bold black die for the age number. You did well my friend. Wondering if this was for who I think it was for. Hugs, Brenda
