A Strange Request

My husband asked me to make a card for him, that in itself is unusual but then he told me what the subject was - A TANK - apparently it is the second birthday of the online game World of Tanks!  They are running a competition with lots of prizes for the best birthday cards that are sent in - well I'm always up for a challenge and I knew just where I would find an image of a Tank!

This is the card that I have made for him:


The decoupage image, sentiment and camouflage papers are from my The Best of La Pashe CD, I turn to this CD again and again, there is such a variety of images on it.  The map paper is from a road atlas that I rescued from the bin after my husband had thrown it away and everything has been layered on to black card stock.  The number 2 is a Penny Black stamp, I have heat embossed it and also added some 3D Crystal Lacquer.

I cut out another small tank image and decorated the inside of the card to complement the front, you can also just about see the decoupage layers in this photograph:


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Charisma Cardz Challenge 12 - Happy Birthday
Sarah Hurley Challenge 78 - Recycle (map backing paper)
A Gem of a Challenge 72 - On the Move
Creative Card Crew Challenge 32 - Masculine
Creative Corner Challenge 12 - Anything Goes

Thank you so much for visiting me today, please leave me a comment so that I can come and visit you.

Happy Easter everyone.

    This is brilliant. Your masculine cards are always fabulous and this is no exception. The papers are perfect with the decoupaged tank and I'd say you're definitely up for a prize - or should I say a prize for your husband. Have a super easter weekend xx
