Happy Birthday Brother

Last Wednesday it was also my brother-in-law's birthday and as he likes his garden I used my Creative Crafting World "Meercat Madness - For the boys" CD and used this meercat mowing the lawn.  Whilst lockdown has been in place my brother-in-law has been able to spend a lot a time in his garden which he does not normally get to do as he runs his own business.  This card was made months ago but such an apt card for him.

I have used a topper sheet (printed out twice so I could decoupage), different backing papers and an insert from the CD.

As the card needed to be posted I have finished it simply with some twine, stamped sentiment (using two different stamps) and die-cut stars from the backing paper which I then embossed with an embossing folder for more texture.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A very apt card for your brother. I love what you've done with the stars - they don't look like card.
