Less is More #7

Morning all ,
I've got a Masculine card to share with you this morning for the weekly challenge at Less is More challenge blog .
Aren't men difficult to make cards for especially if they only have limited hobbies . I have a great stamp that I've had a while and certainly suits my hubby down to the ground !
The stamp is by Judikins, coloured with promarkers and the sentiment is made on the computer using Mandi and Chrissie's tutorial here . The font is so retro and can be found here  . I have stamped a faint cross hatch background to the image and I decided to use the great idea of a broken border around the image and I think it just connects the elements nicely .
Thank you to everyone who comments , it's so lovely to see everyone visiting lots of different blogs via the challenge site , now I'm going to have a lookie too .
Thanks for visiting x
