Make a Mancard with a Pocketful of Wishes

Hi - Jean Okimoto here - with a guy's card featuring our newest ColorBox Limited Edition Chalk Inkpads.  ColorBox Chalk Inkpads  provide great coverage for stenciling, layer beautifully and dry quickly.  

With all of the bling and  prettiness of recent Valentine and soon-to-be-Spring cards, it's easy to forget about cards for the guys - here's one I hope you'll like.  Hope he likes it too!
