So I decided to get ahead of the game and start making birthday cards - especially those for the men in my life. The first one I did was for my dad - end of January and I thought i'd enter it into Fussy and Fancy's Friday Challange - the theme was New - so new anything.
In the case of this card - the stamp is new, the background shape (made of two stars) were cut using a new Fiskars board I picked up in the sales and the silver edging peel offs were from a new sheet. Oh! and if we're going to really go all out, the base card is new stock too - although that may be a bit over the top for the idea of 'new'.
I really hate making men's cards and I find it difficult doing something different, so I hope he likes it. All feedback is welcomed. I just have another 12 mens cards to make - oh joy!
Thanks for looking and happy crafting xx
