Wishing You a Happy Birthday


Today is my husband's birthday and he needed a special card to be made for the occasion.  I recently bought a Debbi Moore CD called "Cards for Men - Timeless Collection" as I knew images would be perfect to use.  The hardest bit was trying to choose which theme to use.  In the end I went with the vintage style racing car as hubby and I love to watch the Formula 1 - especially this week-end as it is Silverstone.  Fingers crossed it is a better race for Lewis Hamilton.

The trouble with the CD was that I couldn't decide on an image so I used a topper sheet, backing papers and a design sheet and also added an insert.  On the backing paper I stamped tyre marks over them so it looks like to car has been racing and making marks on my paper!!

This is a picture of the front and back completed with just items from the CD.  Yes I wouldn't want to send a card like this as it is so heavy but my husband deserves something nice as he works full-time and also has to do the majority of stuff in the house due to my health.  He's a star!!

So your another F1 fan Kym, like you I really hope they get Lewis's car tweaked for the weekend, unheard of in recent years for him not to get a podium finish.

Sounds like a perfect card for your Hubby and best wishes to him as well, thanks so much for sharing with us at Allsorts masculine theme.
