Yeah as well as being Pink Elephant day it's my friend Irene's husband's birthday today too!Good job the challenge at the Pink Elephant this week is ...
turquoise - brown and neutral
LOL - some colour combinations might not have been quite so suitable!!
Think this ought to be called a 'gadget' card as I've used so many machines on it - Cuttlebug folders - Swiss Dots and the Happy Birthday one and my Cricut to do the star shapes and the lettering.
I used a sketch from my collection and I think this one was a Mojo Monday one from way back. I really love their sketches and use them over and over again. I've added a patch of vellum over the words paper on the left hand side.
I love vellum over writing - it softens it beautifully and makes a great contrast (well not so much in the photo but in real life it does) between the vellum covered and the not covered paper.

Great idea to make a man card, Ann! Love it. :)
Such a great guy card!
omgosh...I just realized that I used the same embossing folder as you...I love how you trimmed it down. I always have a hard time with the ones with words. Your card is just so fun and cute.
Ann, I love this! What a great inspiration!
