Birthday card for boy with a tag

I tend to make A2 sized cards, but for this boy card I used my dies from Kort&Godt to make the card base and kraft and DP layers. I chose papers with spots and stripes and a strip of burlap paper for texture.
MB dies were used for the seashells and starfish and also the leaves.
It's really rare that I add flowers to my cards, and I never use them on cards for boys, but here I made an exception and I feel (and hope) it isn't too girly.
I added twine and stamped the birthday greeting on a tag.
The image is from Whimsy Stamps and has been colored with Promarkers and a white gel pen.

This card is for:
Allsorts - #478/479 - Tags
Whimsy Stamps Challenge Blog - #108 Anything Goes
Moving along with the Times - #77 For The Boys
The Male Room - #91 Birthday

Love so much this design, it's masculine but sweet and delicate, just perfect for a little boy! This card is really the perfection! I pinned it. All the elements matches very well together and the daisy with the sentiment is a lovely touch, as well the burlap and the string!! Love the dies you used...!!!

I think it's just right for a male card, men like flowers too! It's beautifully put together and so many lovely details to it.
Thanks so much for sharing with us at the 5th birthday celebrations for The Male Room.
