One for the boys (again!! LOL)

Hehehe, was is it with fate sometimes, its like waiting for a bus and two come at once! This is the second time in less than a week I have a boys card to share. As I said last week I am not a fan of making boys cards as I cant go daft with embellishments, but I think I have stumbled on a solution!

 Do a pirate themed card!!

Yeah it works, I can stick on lots of lovely pirate themed goodies, pieces o' silver, pirate flag, pirate map and ships and things. 
So I am actually liking this card that I have made for the new challenge over at Tilda's Town. So as you may have guessed from my blethering, this weeks theme is

CARD FOR MAN OR BOY
(USE EDWIN)

And here is my card




entering into the following challenges
