Messy, messy, but fun! This is a birthday card for our youngest grandson, John, who will be 13 in January. I think it's about time he got a card that is more guy-ish than kid-ish, don't you?
My DH gave me a whole roll of foil tape to use the last time we did this kind of metal card, and gee, I never remembered to return it! LOL! Thanks for looking.

Oh gee, I don't see you remembering any time soon either LOL!!!
Love the metal and rivet look...yes, it looks more guyish! At 13 I'm sure he will let you know that he is a MAN now giggle! (my oldest grandson is almost 16).
Great card!!

LOL that you still have the foil tape -wasn't that lucky! And yes, I think this is perfect for someone moving in to his teens. I really suspect the card I sent my BFF's son this year was a bit too "kiddy" even though I did make a foil-art background for it.

Love this Anne and I love foil tape.... SO who is the card for? I couldn't help myself.... I'm sure he will love it... and to think I got rid of most of my chipboard stuff because I really didn't use it anymore. I could have covered it with the foil tape... Love that idea... well done my dear...
