A birthday card for a 30-year old guy. This uses a this week's Sketch Challenge, SC352.
I have a difficult time finding appropriate embellishments for guys. While the birthday cake kind of works, it still seems a bit feminine. A wooden star? Something else? Any suggestions?
Thanks for looking.

Ahh, while I think the cake works well, how about a bolt with some jute tied around it? Or a wooden button tied off with string? The possibilities are {not} endless for guys...luckily for us, they usually don't care much, lol! As long as there's real cake...you're golden.
Your card is fabulous just the way it is...

First of all, the sentiment is fabulous for any age and gender (take it from a much older woman than the recipient!!). For a guy card (I work primarily with men and give everyone birthday cards), yours is fun and uncluttered, which is right on course, in my humble estimation. Great job on the cake!!
