Morning All

Told you I'd be back today with Hubby's birthday card ... had a fab evening together last night ... we went to a footie match ... yes I know what you are all thinking but I love football and don't go nearly often enough :)

Will definitely have to make the effort to go more it was fab!!

Anyway ... here's my card ....

This great image is from PRAIRIE FAIRY and is perfect for hubby as he loves Formula One :),  I added the sentiment to the image before I printed it out and then coloured with Copics and cut out with a nestie, I finished off with punched out buttons, a charm and some "chequered flag" ribbon :)
