I was asked to make a card, for a gals husband, for his birthday~perhaps with an electrician theme? Stumped me for a bit, then I raided the tool box for wire, and this is what came about. Luckily she was happy with it. I made holes in a square of chipboard, then ran some inks on it to look like paint, grease etc. Added screw brads to corners, then hung stuff an electrician might use on the board. Threaded his name with letter 'beads' on small popsicle stick. Layered it on black then red/white dp. Inside I put, "We were 'wired' for each other". Corny? Perhaps! But when in 'love', is anything really too corny? Ok, forget I asked! LOL! TFL. : )

What a huge request to make an electrician kinda card, but you came through with flying colors on this one. I love the pliers and all the electrical wire. I think your card is one of those you just cant pass up in the gallery. It's sure a great card for Mike.
