Oh no, not another man card

You are absolutely right.  They are difficult to do, but to be honest I think it's because they also aren't as appreciated or valued as we might like.  I'll buy you a pint often goes down better than I've made you a unique, personalised card.  My OH knows how much I love cards.  Do I get one? Rarely! Never mind.  I did persuade him once that a handmade effort from him would be greatly appreciated and I got one, albeit opening the wrong way, but I do treasure it, for all that.
So here's the entry for this weeks Less is more.

It's some transport stamps by company forgotten, mounted on distressed nesties and over stamped with a little Prima stamp which I also used at the corners.  I have stamped the words to exit the nesties as if they were the train tracks. Opted for a cream base this time just for a change. I've been browsing through my new Polka Doodles CD's.  The new ones are out but are on C and C this Sat or Sun, so if you like a bit of in ya face stuff too, take a peek.
I'm going to link into the challenge now and have a look at some of the great entries.
