I demand a RECOUNT!

Good afternoon, at least the weather is a little better today, I wonder how long it will last.  It's time for another challenge over at Crafting for all Seasons and this time we would like to see your cards or projects for Men - this is my card:

Birthday Boy

This is the second card that I have made for my neighbour who has asked me to make a card for her forty something son who lives in France.  I decided to give her a choice so this one has cars on it as she suggested and the one I made earlier in the week had a dog on it.

The image is from Joanna Sheen's Nostalgia CD, the papers are from an American Traditional Designs Card stock Bundle and the sentiment was cut from a backing paper from the Polka Doodles Not For Girls CD.  The card cannot be heavily embellished as it has to go in the post. to France so I just added a couple of corners cut from the Core'dinations cards stock that I used to layer the papers and image and some co-ordinating brown Core'dinations.

I have decorated the inside of the card

I do hope my neighbour likes one of them.
