Birthday Card- Brother-in-Law

I made this card in February for my brother-in-law's birthday on April 13th. We had the pleasure of celebrating with him as we where in Spain for our 2nd nieces baptism (which I am the godmother!!!!). It is very difficult to do cards for guys, so I searched through the internet and pinterest to get inspiration! It has some dimension to it and you can see it on the 2nd picture. I think it came out really nice and masculine. What do you think?
