It's my brothers birthday

Hi everyone,

Today I made ​​a card for my brother. Next week he will be 37. And of course I can not go to his birthday without a handmade card. I find it very difficult to make a masculine card. It's not a typical male card. When I think about a male card, it has dark colors. I wanted nice bright colors, for this one.






With this card, I participate with Frilly and Funkie. This time the challenge is to use stencils or masks. I used a stencil. I absolutely love this stencil. It is the Mini Punchinella of The Crafters' Workshop. I want a few more.... Can't get enough of them.



Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!

Hugs,
Sandra
