I figured both boating and tennis were probably not allowed after any kind of surgery so chose to focus on John's other passion - reading - with a nod to his other hobbies in the stack of reading material . . .
Stamped my images, colored with prismacolor pencils & gamsol, then fussy cut. I used a gold gel pen on the bookworm's glasses and hand wrote the book titles with a black sharpie. Stamped the sentiment, die cut then sponged with orange to give it some definition. Framed the center panel with some masculine toned DP.

That bookworm is so cute and I love his gold specs! Tying in all John's favs with the book titles is brilliant. Especially love the top book on how to relax...I could use that read. Adorable card and definitely a smile-inducer.

What an adorable book warm image with his fancy gold rimmed glasses! Such a clever idea to customize the book titles to cover John's interests! Love your masculine designer paper background panels!

I love the cute bookworm and all the books taking in John’s interests, Linda, this is a fabulous card! John plays tennis 3 times a week and is a prolific reader. Unfortunately he hasn’t been able to play tennis much lately and I think it may be a while before he will be able to get back to it. Thank you for making this card for him~
