The first card I am showing you in 2017 I made for the the 100th birthday of the father of my sister-in-law! That is quite the milestone! I wonder if any of us will live that long...
Stamps: Stampin' Up (splatters)
Dies: Memory box (sentiment and numbers)
Other: Tim Holtz textured hammer, punch
Since he knows German I used this die from Memory Box that says something like "Best Wishes". The numbers are cut from a scrap of gold and then distressed with this textured hammer from Tim Holtz (not sure if it is still available). The green background I had in my stash. I layered everything on a gold panel and attached it to a 5x7 card that I stamped lightly with golden splatters.

One Hundred! That's quite a milestone, and one to be very, very proud to have achieved. Love your color choices, size, and the whole design of this card. I'm sure he will love it. It's just fantastic. Bev
A milestone, indeed and what a fabulous card you've designed to celebrate the occasion! A masculine marvel (and darn pretty, too *grin*). I know he'll love it, as do I!

Don't think I will get there LOL
Une autre carte fabuleuse Suzanne et très masculine avec ce combo de couleurs ! Je suis sûre que le papa de ta belle-soeur a apprécié ta délicate attention !
L'autre jour chez le boucher, il y avait devant moi un monsieur qui venait de faire ses petites courses et il blaguait même avec la vendeuse, quelle surprise d'entendre qu'il était lui aussi dans sa centième année ! Franchement je veux bien aller jusqu'à cet age si c'est comme lui !
Á bientôt !
Das ist aber alt!!! Ich weiss nicht, ob ich mir das wünsche....aber er freut sich bestimmt über Deine schöne Karte!
So cool and masculine, Susanne ... the hammered gold is stylish and celebratory ... perfect to celebrate an amazing 100th birthday! I can just imagine us all still making cards across the internet when we reach that age!! Hugs, Anita :)
I'm so happy you kept that gorgeous green panel, Susanne! What a great color combo ... he will love this card - well done! thanks for your visit today! xx
