Happy Birthday Dave......

Good evening to all my followers, new & long-standing....thanks for popping in tonight.
I'd like to show you a card made for Emma's dad, Dave....he's 60 today and definitely wasn't looking forward to it....We have this bit of misery going on between us 'cos it's my turn in August, and neither of us want to be 60! haha
I made a card that didn't have a huge 60 on the front, as I think he probably had lots of these.......


Kraft, black and cream 'linen'  cardstock all from

 The 'wire' stamp is from Inkylicious, the wine set & scrolls are by Creative Expressions and the grunge corners are from LOTV



Central image cut with a Spellbinder label die.
Gorgeous 'fine detail' gold embossing powder from 





Computer generated sentiment.




The inside!
I coloured the image with Adirondack ink and promarkers.
Well, I sincerely hope Dave has had a fab day, with all the family, on holiday.....no doubt we'll go out next week to celebrate his 'milestone' birthday......and (not) look forward to mine!
Catch you all soon,
Barbara xx
I'm entering this card into the following challenges :-
My Craft Creations  (60th birthday)
