JAI #276 Just add cards for males

Hello there,

despite a freezing cold wind there are hints of spring around - my first daffodil bloomed last weekend and for me that always carries the promise of spring! It also means that it's not long till it's Father Day here in Australia. To get prepared Just Add Ink usually runs male oriented challenge this time of year. So this week our challenge is to Just Add Cards for Males suggested by Jan. It can be for whatever purpose you need one - birthday, father's day - or even a masculine style thank you card.

Here's what I came up with - something fun for my DH's upcoming birthday. There is a little surprise inside!

Brace yourselves for a few photos now.
First, what you see when you open the card.

Now you start moving the magnifying glass over - can you see the secret message start to appear?

And finally all the message is revealed!

  

I always have to come up with something interactive for DH's cards and this year I couldn't go past playing spy and having a secret message he can discover. I know this is going to tickle his funny bone! I think I will get a lot of use out this spy set for the kids and DH in years to come :)

Hope you can join us and show us what you think is a great card for a male.

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
