Mr Chap is a Man, he is also Half a Century..

Well here is a little bit of pop and graphic on a card that I made for my friend Stephen who knocks up half a century today, HB Master Stephen!!

I always try to make something a little outside of a regular card for the big occasions, so instead of a card that opens I used a piece of foam board and made a little back plate that folded into a stand.  The sentiment and message is then on a tag inside the little bag that is simply adhered to the front of the foam board.  Master S is a rather colourful fellow so I went with rays of sunshine for the background and used one of my fabby new chevron badges as a feature element... along with the coiled burst of stars.

This was a big hit with the birthday boy and I was really happy with how it came out, so a two-fer and lots of fun to make!

Hope you like!!
