Thirty

Good morning everyone.
As it's Tuesday it means a new challenge over at Cardz4Guyz, where we aim to show you that making masculine cards are easier than you think!
This week we want to see your projects based on the theme of a -

NUMBERED BIRTHDAY

When I saw this it was a no brainer as, as I've said before, my son is turning 30 and so are his friends!
So here is my card.


This is a card that my son asked me to make for his best friend and childminder's son!
He'd seen another box card I'd made and asked for one for Ben's birthday. 
I used a red, white and blue theme and the explosion set from Uniko and some MFT balloon dies coloured with Copics.
I coloured the balloons with Copics to match the fussy cut explosion stamps stamped in shades of red and blue. The 30 was cut in holographic card and the name out of white scraps and coloured to match. The panels were cut to size then embossed using a Cuttlebug embossing folder-  Happy Birthday. The balloons were stuck to strips of acetate and then these were glued onto strips of red card across the opening of the box. I added a few strings and bows to the balloons with linen thread.

OK, now it's over to you. Check out what fab inspiration the rest of the DT have made and join us.

I'm going to join in the fun over at:-
