All Sorts 17 Something for the boys

The Challenge at All Sorts this week is something for the boys... It is my hubbys birthday soon so I made a card for him, though he will be 59 so not sure he is classed as a boy, but like most men he behaves like one.
Anyway this card is out of my comfort zone, I don't do men's cards, well only if I have to, I machine stitched it another first and then distressed the edges, and then inked the edges. I don't do distressing, well maybe I do now. The Papers are "Wild Asparagus" by My Mind's Eye, and the stamps are by The Unity Stamp Co.

  2. You've done a great job Carol...why are men's cards so hard to create? Stars are always a good option, luckily my hubby likes animals, so that helps a lot!!
    The stitching looks good too :)

  4. Hi Carol

    A really great "male card" - brilliant idea and I love your ribbon! I bet your hubby will love it.

    Your hubby is probably like me - much younger on the inside than the outside. I am only about 14 inside LOL!!!

    Thank you for joining in the Allsorts Challenge this week.

    Love Jules xx
