Fab male card, like the layering stamps layout. The jaunty angle of the pic with the envelope, makes him look like he's doing a dance or leaning over :) Fabulous pics of Florida, loved all those craft stores! Couldn't cope with that heat though. Have a good weekend xxx

What an absolutely terrific masculine birthday card, Kathy! I love the lines of that image and the way you've stamped it against all those great designs. You always blow me away with the extras you add, like the stamped envelps and continuing the design into the card. Love it! Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
