Between Father's Day and a bunch a birthdays, I've got
a whole bunch of manly cards to share with you in the next
little bit. First up is a birthday card for our Uncle Garry.
He loves vintage vehicles and just last year bought a
'67 Chevy truck that he's restoring. I knew right away
which stamp set I wanted to use for his card:
I kept it fairly simply, which was tough! I kept wanting
to add more - some ribbon, something sparkly, a bow... but
held myself back and stuck with a couple popped-up layers
and some big, bad brads for hubcaps :)

I coloured the truck and hearts in using my blender pen, but don'tlove how you can see the lines on the truck...I'm pretty sure Uncle Garry
won't give it a second thought though. LOL! The inside is stamped
with the sentiment "Loads of love on your birthday". Even
though everything in me wanted to keep adding embellishments,
I'm pretty happy with how this card turned out.
Thanks for visiting!
And stop by for some more 'manly inspiration' soon.
Wow! Very simple and clean. It must have been hard not to add a button or ribbon. Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteI have that set too and I LOVE it! It's so versatile! You did a great job with it but I hear ya on the wanting to add things! I think it's great the way it is!! :D I'm sure Garry really liked it :D
