Golfing Anyone?

I have a friend here that is in need of a Golf Themed Birthday card for her father.

He is turning EIGHTY in April!

I found a card on SCS (this one), and cased it.

Here is my version:

I am thinking the inside will read:

80 OVER PAR

Who Is Counting?

Happy Birthday!

(since it is Golf themed and all!)

I couldn't decide how to put the GREEN BAKERS TWINE (cheap!)... Or which direction I wanted the back layer... So I made a few!

I also used black and kraft for two different base styles... 

the pattern paper is Basic Grey. 

I cut half inch strips and custom made the background.

The image is from Wax Fruit Company. Such a cute set of digital images and sentiments!

If you do order from this talented lady... don't get in a hurry, it takes her about 24 hours to get your image emailed to you.

The requirements at Basic Grey's challenge blog is to use at least ONE item that is Basic Grey. I used paper and stamps. The patterned paper is from the Ambrosia Collection and the light colored swirls on the patterned paper is from the Two Scoops/Swirlie stamp set. It is kinda hard to see the swirls.
