Vintage TV Birthday Card

Good Morning,

Happy May Day!  Today I would like to show you a box card that I made for my big brother for his birthday.  It is an svg file by SVG Cuts.  I like the vintage look of the TV, I actually had one this color back in the 70's when I was young and poor.  I stole a photo off of my brother's facebook page for the photo.  It is him and his wife wearing the mask their daughter made them.  I don't know if my brother saves my cards but I thought it would be a remembrance of this strange time we are living in.

I used buttons for the TV knobs, I also embossed the silver parts of the TV as well as the panel in the front.



Here is what the card looks like inside:




Here is the back of the card folded up.  This also came with an envelope file.


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aud Sentiments - #250 Masculine + Sentiment
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Happy Birthday or Fun Fold or Both 
Cardz 4 Guyz - #243 Use Dies as Main Feature

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I appreciate all of your comments.  Sorry I haven't  been commenting on your blogs, having my husband home all day is very weird and I don't seem to be able to get as much done.

Hugs,
