Blue and white birthday card

Hello,

this is a birthday card made for a male friend, I didn't want anything too fussy so decided to use fleur de lis as the main design as it has a more masculine feel to it. I used the Spellbinders Ornamental Iron M-Bossability folder embossed on to white card for the background and hid the join with the Fleur De Lis Accents border cut from navy card, then put the Fleur De Lis Corner Accents cut from navy card in the top two corners. The white background was matted and layered on to navy card and then on to a white 8 x 8 card blank. I used the Labels Twenty die cut from navy card and a Spellbinder/JustRite stamp for the sentiment, stamped in Memento Marine Blue. It was finished off with navy Craftwork Cards Card Candi in the bottom corners and above the border.

I think it has a masculine feel about it and hope you think so too. Thanks for stopping by, as always any comments gratefully received.
