I made this card for a wonderful retired pastor in our congregation who has a birthday on the 30th. I used today's Sketch Challenge, which I flipped for the sentiment. I also made this for our Alphabet Challenge for R, and I tried for the double challenge, but not everything begins with "R". There is round image of a roadster, and one round sentiment, using Real Red ink and cardstock. I did use round red buttons and red DP. I tried. Also this is for the All Occassion Card Challenge and for the Use it in 2016. First time I have inked up the LOTV image. Thanks for looking.

What a great color combination for a masculine card! Love the images and the wonderful layout, Sharon! I just love twine and the fine twine for the button looks fabulous! I'm sure he will love it!

How perfectly masculine - the colors and this roadster in red - sure to give your former pastor a grin or two, knowing that you thought of him on his birthday!!

Sharon, I love this! The red and crumb cake make a great colour combo. I love the car image and the buttons. Isn't it funny how we are using vintage on a lot of the cards for the men in our lives nowadays.

Really cool! It is perfect for the birthday boy. It looks like "rope" on your card. Nice "rough" texture for a masculine card. I like the "raised" sentiment. You did a lot of Letter R elements. I think you reached the Double Challenge level! Great round, red roadster car. Wonderful card. TFS
