Secret Card Making!

So the picture of this card is fairly rushed and rubbish, 
as I was trying to keep it secret from my DH ;-)
I get into quite a bit of trouble for going overboard with flouncy detail for himself in particular, so this card is a real old and new conglomeration! 


This is quite an old stamp set, but have kept hold of it for Male Birthday cards in particular, with also retired DSP, (which could be reproduced by sponge brayering) but the New Stitched Star Dies adds a little sparkle with glimmer card stock, and OBVIOUSLY you're NEVER too old for numbers on your Birthday card ;-)

Keep on card making,
especially with stamps you can't let go,
