Here I am with another male card again. I have had so many to make this year that I have totally lost my terror of men's cards. They are not my favourites by any means - you can do so much more for the ladies!! - but I don't recoil in horror at the thought now.
My Card
Click on image to enlarge picture
As you can see this was inspired by one of Sue Wilson's cards a couple of weeks ago and it was for my nephew to give to his dad. I posted the one I made for my sister to give - and totally forgot to take a picture of my own. Early onset dementia!!! I again used the "Explore" stamp set and matching Vintage Labels 4 dies from JustRite Stampers. I die cut the large label from an old map of Europe which I found on the internet. The cogs and sprockets were die cut from Papermania Chronology Collection. This card is 6 x 6 and made as an easel card - obviously. I placed the sentiment verse on the underside which then makes it quite private to put a personal message on. Darren like it anyway, and he also thought the retirement card I did for him was great. (Well not actually for him but his colleague!)
Well that's it from me. Hope you are all well but if not I hope you get better quickly.
Fabulos card Christine beautifully embellished ..love the stamp

That is a really stunning card Christine. I love the stamping and your layout is fab! I enjoy making them for the blokes with the exception of the fact that I can't put loads of embellishments, i.e. flowers, on them lol!
