However i didnt want to make a BAD card lol,Now as you can see its a definate CAS card if ever you saw one, but i did put some thought into it as he likes his sports,
I thought id choose basic pastel colours and pop a bit of faux stitching on and leave it at that,

Well I think this is a wonderful card...and I hope appreciates the effort. Terrific sentiment. I must admit I am a little slacker on cards that I know people aren't crafters and don't appreciate the time.

Well I always think cards for men are difficult anyway, and they never appreciate the effort you've gone to !!! I think your card is lovely, and perhaps he'll appreciate it as the sentiment is lovely. Annette xx (Incy Wincy DT)
