Birthday Wishes

I seem to be on a run of creating masculine cards at the moment. 

I would like to enter my card into these challenges:
Open-Minded Crafting Fun - Faux Stitching

Sparkles Monthly Challenge - Happy Birthday

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Authentique.  The image is from A & T Digital and is coloured with copic markers and has faux stitching added with a Reno Art Marker.  Matting is black cardstock.  I also used three items that I purchased last week - the greetings topper, paper strip and three silver brads.
