Masculine Birthday Card With Di's DigiStamps Party Boy Bear Digi

I've had this Di's DigiStamps Party Boy Bear digi (retired) a while now and not used it. I thought it was high time I did and seeing as my brother's birthday is coming up and he's a big fan of overalls, it seemed the perfect choice for his card.

He's quite the DIY guy so I thought this paper from The Paper Studio's Glasses, Staches & Ties paper pad (retired) ideally complemented the overall look. I've had this paper for such a long time; I checked the blog and it first appears on a 2013 card. I haven't used it very often, but I've always liked how the projects I've used it on turn out. My favorite past project featuring it is this Steampunk Father's Day card (yes, my style has definitely changed). Amelie font was used for the sentiment and little wooden gears (that I've had years now and never used) give a bit of manly embellishment.
