French Industrial card

Good Afternoon folks.  Absolutely wonderful spell of Summer weather.  I hope you are all making the most of it.   Its cooler in my craft room than it is outside, even under the parasol.
This is Ronnie's birthday to-day ( 21 again )  and I'm glad to report he is enjoying it. The last 2 weeks have seen a miraculous change ,considering all he's been through. So this is the card I made him, all from the Tim Holtz Paper Pad called French Industrial.  Its fabulous papers, and the only extras I used were elements from Wooden Embellies,( sorry if I got the name wrong. ) and one of Tim's cog wheels.  You will notice I've opted out of buying a present again,  but truly I'd rather they choose what they want for themselves.

       Keep Cool and Keep Crafting my friends.   Hugs Rita xx

Hi Rita,
another of your fabulous design cards. Love that scrolled up fish tail tag. A very nice idea. May try that on one of my cards soon, if you don't mind.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Hope you are keeping nice and cool.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

This is amazing. Inside and out! I'm beginning to do a little more with decorating the insides of cards. Usually not my thing!

Fabulous male card Rita! So glad he seems to be doing okay. I think it is a much better to give a cheque for a gift and then you know they will be getting what they really want. I used to give vouchers but in the past so many companies went bust and people were unable to redeem the vouchers that I tend to go for cheque or money now. Christine xx

Brilliant card Rita, I am sure Ronnie will be over the moon with it. Being able to buy what he wants is a much better option.
So glad to hear he is doing OK.

Dear Rita
I am still on-line, for the moment, so I had to pop over to say Hello.
Well isn't this just fabulous! You have mastered the distressed style and of course, inside, your card is finished to perfection. Love this!
So we are both taking mini blogging breaks :) Take care.
Wishes
Lynne
