Happy 83rd, Ervin

I need several masculine cards.  This is for DH's twin who will be celebrating his 83rs birthday.  (Yup, you're right - DH will be the same age in a few days.  Of course, I am MUCH younger - well younger, maybe not so much!)  Most of the card uses Recollections shimmery silver CS, backed with black.  The image is digital, from Beccy's Place.  I added washi tape (backed with a leftover bit of the cs, for solidity; the Embossalicious HB folder, black and white twine, and a Dazzles Brother sticker - on a Nestie oval.

Your card is fabulous Dorothy, I really like the black and white colour scheme and I'm sure your brother-in-law will too. I like how you have framed the little house in an oval die cut and then layered it over the embossed background.
Happy birthday to your hubby and his brother!
Cheers,
Beccy
