This time, I've made a man's card for once...

My hubby ordered this card from me some time ago, for a collegue that turned 40 this winter.

The guy works as a chef - so I felt like digging out some old hÂnglar images again for his card :)

And I even digged out my Distress Inks again to colour him!!!

Ink: Archival Ink - Coffee & Jet Black, Distress Ink - Weathered Wood & Stormy Sky.

The backside is made as a pocket, to hide a gift certificate :)
