Only 13 days ....

.... late with my brother's card - I'm very lucky he's so laid-back!!  I hope I made up for it by inviting him round to dinner, making him a cake, and piling on some grovelling apologies!!  I made this card for him:

I used the sketch from this week's Deconstructed Sketch, and I'm also entering this into the following challenges: Simon Says Stamp ("Masculine"), Creative Inspirations (Colour challenges), Crafty Creations ("One for the Boys"), ABC Challenge ("Open" - Anything Goes), Make it Monday and Papertake Weekly ("Anything Goes").

I used a stamp from a Verve set that I won a while back - have printed the centre on the computer and popped it up for dimension.  Here's a close-up of the stamp, followed by a side-shot of the dimension:

Update 12th June: This card was picked as the weekly winner on Creative Inspirations.  Thank you!
