Jems Designs to the rescue - Man's card!!

Unless you have a selection of card making sets specifically for men from companies such as Hunkydory, making a 'Man's Card' is never easy I find, mainly I guess because as a general rule frou-frou such as lace, bows, gems and flowers is not on the agenda lol!!
But Jems Designs have some gorgeous cd roms specifically with mens themes and their images are so vibrant in colour - wonderful! This is an A5 single gatefold card commissioned this month for a Dad's 80th Birthday. The lady had obtained a 1934 old penny and wanted this incorporated on the card as an embellishment. I do hope you like it and the card 'recipe' is given below.

Thanks for stopping by and as always, your comments will be appreciated. xxx
