40th Birthday Card

Today, I am sharing the card I made for a friend and neighbour who
celebrated his 40th birthday this weekend.
He loves sports and is an amazing triathlete, so I wanted
to make him a triathlon themed card.
I made the backing paper by typing the triathlon words
'swim.bike.run' and printed in pale grey.
I found the triathlon image on the internet.
The numbers I die-cut in black card and also black fun foam
to give some dimension.

The products I have used are:-
Spellbinders Nestabilities - Squares and Large Deckle Edge Rectangles
Number and tag die - Purchased from eBay
Sentiments computer generated
Home made card candi
Challenges entered:-
Just Us Girls - Celebrate
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge - Anything Goes
Always Happy Birthday - Anything Birthday Goes
The Crafter's Café - Three of Something (3 different dies)
Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes
House of Cards - Birthday and/or Colour

    This is a great personalized card. I especially like the use of the three images - perfect for the challenge! The background with grey print is a clever idea as well. Thanks for joining the current "three of something" challenge at the Crafter's Cafe. Dorothy S, DT member
