This card was made for a family member who recently celebrated his 80th birthday. I always find male cards difficult as most of my stash consists of 'girly' items but this turned out well enough (I hope) and I do like the buttons tied with raffia so will use this idea again. The inside consisted of a one page insert plus a double page photo-montage which my DH put together using his family history programme. All edges have been cut using the deckle blade in my trimmer.
Cream pre-scored card blank & Metallic card from stash

Lovely card Louise. The embossing is gorgeous. I don't particularly like make male cards either - I always want to stick flowers on them :) Jaqui x
