Simple 40th Birthday Card

I'm easing my way back into crafting with a simple birthday card for my brother-in-law.  He turns the big 4-0 next week, so what colors are more appropriate than somber black and silver?

 

Card Details:
  • Card Base - Studio G (5x5")
  • Papers - silver cardstock by Bazzil Bling; all others are The Paper Studio
  • Cricut Cuts - font from Doodletype
  • Cuttlebug Embossing - Happy Birthday
  • Other - red brads from 7 Gypsies - Angelo; "40" on pop-dots
Masculine cards are difficult for me, and I wish this card had turned out better.  But my bro-in-law likes minimalist things, so hopefully he'll like it.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Birthday Sundaes:  Challenge #22 - It's All About the Brads
CAS-ual Fridays: CFC #16 - Embossing

    I like it. Clean and simple. For some reason, boys love cards like that. :)
