Masculine Birthday Cards with Stella Says Sketch #913

I needed to make a couple of birthday cards for male golfers in my life and I used Stella Says Sketch #913 to get started.  There were scraps of grass paper and golf ball papers in my stash that were put to work along with a new Close to my Heart stamp and thin cut die set called "My Hole in One."  The sparkly textured paper is from Bazill and has been in my paper stash quite a long time.

Here is the fabulous Stella Says Sketch #913 that inspired my card layout:

This next card became a little different so I could tuck in the flag with the milestone birthday number on it.  

I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:

     Alphabet Challenge--Green or Gold

     Simon Says Wednesday--Anything Goes

     Addicted to Stamps and More #408--Birthday

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
