Keeping to my promise

to blog more often. I've just made this card for my elder brothers birthday, he will be 68 this month, in fact I have two brothers and we are all in our 60s. I was just thinking this morning, when I was a child, I thought people who were 60 were  really old, now i've reached that age, and I don't feel i'm old, well okay on the odd day I do feel ancient, but i'm a lot more active than my grandparents were. Anyway enough of my ramblings, here is the card

my brother  and sil both love crown green bowling, so I thought this image would be ideal, it's from  'justinklined ' and is coloured with copics, and I used distress inks for the background . I have followed the sketch over at sketch and stash , and the embroidery thread and card candi are from my stash.

                                                         I am entering it in the following challenges
