A quick A2-size card to say hello to my dad. He likes things without any embellishments - do you find that difficult?
It is also difficult for me to make A2 size cards.
I'm trying to get into the CAS mode. Hope it happens soon. LOL
It's a card within a card, so the front opens with a little "classic message" and the inside, too, for a little note.
Do these only count as SEMI-embellishments? They are sorta classic, too.
Just like my dad, who will be 86 shortly.
This is for the "Here Come The Boys Challenge" using their picture inspiration.
Products used:
Spellbinders Labels Eight for the mini card
Spellbinders Labels One for the layering
Cardstock: SU DP, navy, white, blue
Ink: Cloud blue dye base, navy dye base
Stamps: Just for Fun
Thanks for taking a peek.

This is such a neat card for your father. I hope he has a spectacular birthday and enjoys all of the 86 candles!
This is wonderful Donna. I love the design, gorgeous colours and wonderful images too. I am sure you dad will be thrilled to receive such a special card from you.

What a fantastic interpretation of the inspiration photo, Donna! I don't know whether the stamps are embellishments or not but they are perfect on this card. What if we say that since they lie flat and don't have any dimension to them. they aren't embellishments? Love, love, LOVE those classic cars.
What a perfect masculine card. I have a difficult time keeping things to the A2 size also LOL... great minds think alike. I'm sure your dad will love the card...
Hi Donna, I missed this great 'manly' card. Beautiful design again! Cheers, Shirleyx
Super masculine card for Dad. I need one shortly too for mine, so thanks for sharing!
Fabulous card for your dad! Love everything about it and how clever to use the stamps as embellishments. Love the opening too - very unique and fun.
Hello Donna, your Dad will LOVE this card in a card. So CAS and yet has so much.
Love,

Great masculine card, Donna, I'm sure your Dad will love it. Happy Birthday to him. Hope you're feeling better than you did last week. Take care. Wendy H (FP)xx
Great Card Donna. Love the postage stamps on it. They're flat, they don't have glitter, they don't count as embellishments, just layers.
I like the card within a card idea. If my craft table wasn't cleaned off, I'd go try one right now! Nice job.
Hi De,
I bet your dad is going to love this one. I love the vintage cars and I bet he will too.
You have made it very interesting by adding the extra piece that opens on the front of the card too.

I struggle with cas cards, I always think that they don't look finished when I do them, I like my cards to look like I have put in a lot of thought an effort so I always fail at cas cards hehe Anyways Your card is fab for our challenge, Thanks for joining in at HCTB's, Good luck, hope to see you next time, Mandz xox
You even manage to make a relatively clean and simple guy card look fabulous! You're so good!
Awesome Masculine card Miss Donna!! Love the Fabulous vintage car images!! Super idea to use the postage stamps for embellies too! Looks Awesome! Bet your Dad will Love this! 8-)

How perfectly sweet for your Dad. I love the stamp embellishment. CAS is the rage right now (I can see why with the new increase in postal rates...lol) and so difficult for me. But I have seen some incredibly beautiful cards.
Bear Hugs,
Carol
