Golf Themed 80th Birthday Card With Freshly Made Sketch #286

One of my weekend golf partners turns 80 next week and when I saw this week's Freshly Made Sketch I knew it would work perfectly for his birthday card!

 

Here is the wonderful FMS sketch that inspired my card layout: 

The golf ball and tees were die cut with a Quick Cutz die.  The background is Close to My Heart Sea Glass CS embossed with a We R Memory Keepers Next Level Geometric Embossing folder.  The tees were die cut from CTMH Ruby and Pacifica CS.  The numbers were cut using the CTMH Artbooking cartridge and Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel was applied to the numbers and tops of the golf tees.

Other challenges I'm submitting this card to:
     Seize the Birthday
     My Time to Craft #345--Masculine
     A Gem of a Challenge--Wet or Dry Embossing
     Words to Craft By--Numbers
