It's me again, with a Tuesday Toodaloo for you, sweet blogging friends! LOL :-)
Well, the Guy card demand just won't leave me alone. I'm blessed that way, which is why it is good for me to practice making them! Honey and I have been blessed to have made long friendships with many of his coworkers. The birthday card I'm sharing today is going to one of those. Earlier in the year, I made his lovely wife a jungle-themed card
HERE but not until after I'd planned his card did I realize both cards had a wild vibe going on. Well, they
are a wonderfully
wild pair! We've definitely made some awesome memories together. He's ridden a bike as long as I've known him, so I used that as the theme and as he is my age he remembers Steppenwolf's song.
I made a smaller 5x5 square card this time, doing my usual resizing in PSE and printing out.
Paper/Card Stock Used: Bazzill Textured card base; Basic Grey Archaic pp; orange snippet - stash
Stamps Used: Lawn Fawn Mil ABC's (Born To Be Wild sentiment); Wild Rose Studio (Happy Birthday circle); Artistic Outpost (motorcycle); HOTP, Gerda Steiner, Cas-ual Fridays (inside sentiments) (Sweet Stamp Shop (back siggie).
Inks Used: VersaFine Clair, Memento, clear embossing powder
Dies Used: Spellbinders Postage Stamp Nesties
Misc: Cropadile Corner Chomper
On the inside, I tried to continue the "wild" word play with various sentiments I had.
On the back, I used a snarky siggie on snippets from the front.
The stamped
Born To Be Wild sentiment wasn't heat-emboss, but the circle sentiment and the motorcycle were.
Here's the rest of my pics...
I'm very happy at how this card came out. Honey likes it a lot, so I'm thinking our friend will as well. A Happy Accident: I never noticed how the horizontal lines of the base mat turn up as if to symbolize wind. Seriously, never saw that until I was writing this post, lolol. Love it!

This is super fun and how neat that it sortof goes with the wild theme of the one you made his wife. That worked out great!
Its an awesome card for a male friend or even a female friend who loved motor bikes. All the images you used and the sentiment quotes on the card are fantastic.
