Anyway, as I said, it was my son's birthday and this is the card I made for his brother to give him.
I saw this Penny Black stamp on a blog sometime ago and I just had to get it, I think it's ideal for male cards. I have coloured the cute little hedgehogs with ProMarkers and used some Echo Park papers that I have had for ages. The card stock is Core'dinations and I used my Spellbinders Ric Rac die to cut the bottom edge. The string and button are from my stash.
I have decorated the inside of the card using the same papers and layout as the front.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Have a wonderful day!
Hi, Pauline! By now your dad is settled back in with you, and I hope all is going well for your family. A big milestone with your son having passed the theory part of his driving test!! Your PB card is adorable with the little hedgehogs, but it is your choice of layout, papers and beautiful hand-pieced layers which make it extraordinary - the inside is very pretty, too. Thanks for sharing, and for always leaving the sweetest comments on my blog. I think somehow that Bloglovin did not put your blog in my Friends Folder so I need to do that right now. hugs, de
