Absolutely brilliant masculine card for the first one. You're not going to believe this, but I was using the exact same background circle stamp myself only last week!

Loving the festive tree make too.

Happy Friday! xxx

This is a great masculine card Kathy and I love the super blue tones you have used in the mats and layers, also the black silhouette cyclist stands out beautifully, and finished with that wonderful stamped border across the middle behind the topper. The Christmas card is really pretty too with the scrap of dp and the added stylised tree over the top..I love it. x
