'Masculine' Birthday card

Now why put masculine in single quotes?  Well, as you can see from the card below, it is not typically a masculine birthday card.  For this I blame the lovely ladies at Sunday Stamps (just kidding)!  Their challenge this week (http://sundaystamps.blogspot.ca/)  was to use basic gray, primrose petals and summer starfruit.  I used this challenge as inspiration for my brother in law's birthday card.  You might think that I'm being lazy in not making him a more masculine card, but I promise, I'm not!  Lee, my brother in law, is amazing.  He is a man's man, but at the same time, he has a very caring and kind side to him.  He has no problem wearing pink (and he looks awesome in it!).  So I'm not settling!!!  I only wish that instead of summer starfruit, I could have used tangerine tango as orange is his favourite colour!
Just as a little local (Ottawa) tip, we celebrated Lee's birthday at Fatboy's Southern Smokehouse (http://fatboys.ca/ottawa-ontario-122311/).  I've been there before, but I have to say, even as a vegetarian, the food is fantastic!
