Today the tea potters are making cards for Charles in NY who has been diagnosed with cancer. With all Charles has had to endure in the last several years, I think he is like a Ford, yep, Ford tough. (I like saying since my current ride is a Ford truck) I didn't know much about ham radio so I googled some of their lingo to make banners coming out of the bed of the truck. The #73 is best wishes in ham radio "talk". Wishing you the very best, Charles.
I hope Google was right and Charles doesn't think I thought he was age 73. That would be just my luck.

What a great card for Charles! Love how you used the "Ford ..built tough" theme and added ham radio references. Great design too. He is sure to love it!

Great masculine card Shirley, my dh drives a ford and is very happy with it however I used to drive a ford taurus and I say that FORD stands for found on road dead, it was a real lemon.

OH, Shirt, this is an awesome masculine card!! love th egoogling idea to get some of their lingo to go as banners, and the 73 was genius - I am sure Charles will understand the concept - the colors remind me of the tough guys on the highway crews in their orange trucks and jackets - Charles is one tough guy after all he has been through, and I know he will love this card!! lymi

HI Shirley,
What a great take on the challenge to put the banners in the back of the truck. I have this stamp too and love it. I love the silver embossing - it reminds me of those expensive tool boxes. BTW 73 - is a ways away, but I pray he gets there and beyond! Thank you for the best wishes, and for the time you took in making this awesome card and the research you did.
