Cards for Men Challenge #10 - "Kicking Back"

Good Morning, I do hope you are enjoying your Bank Holiday weekend and the weather has been kinder to you than it has for me, anyway todays challenge for Cards for Men is themed "Kicking Back" now you might wonder what this means as Ive been told its to cover "Pastimes and Hobbies" so that should be an easy one for you. And for this Challenge we are being sponsered by "The Stamping Boutique"

And they are offering a prize of 3 digis of your own choice, and here is what they say about themselves.

I'm Tracey Malnofski, the artist and owner of The Stamping Boutique. My team and I are very happy to sponsor Cards for Men. My store has been open since September 2009.I am currently a stamp artist for UnityStampCo. and I've worked for InStyleStamps, Squigglefly, and TheDigiShack in the past. I'm a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in my community. I have quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but I love them all. I'm truly blessed.

"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality,as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week."

 
And I chose to use AJ on a Cycle as I know a lot of the men enjoy either racing or mountian biking, I know as my grandson loves taking part in it.
 

Ive printed him onto white card and then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I used my rotatrim to cut him out and stamped the sentiment and mounted them both in the same way on some dark blue card.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first mount of blue card, and the papers are ones I found on the interenet and I have placed the first one a dark blue paper with lots of cycles on, the second is a sentiment one and Ive used a Martha Stewart border punch down the edge and placed it on top of the first one.
The mounted image was then positioned towards the left and the sentiment below on the right hand side.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope you will go and visit the Cards for Men Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the design team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this "Kicking Back" Challenge.
