Super Striker

Hope everyone had a good weekend, it was fairly quite here yesterday so I had a bit of time to craft. I decided to make a male card for a change, as I hadn't made one for a while and it was an excuse to use another stamp that hadn't seen any ink. I've got a few male birthdays coming up so I decided not to add a sentiment until I decide what I am going to do with it.
