Pow!

Good morning everyone, 
I have a bit of a different card to share today. Most of my cards are 'cute' and I'm sure if I tried to give Tom one of those for his birthday , he wouldn't thank me!!
I can't believe my gorgeous little boy turns 16 today. I say 'little' but at almost 6 foot tall, he's head and shoulders above me!
Anyway, I found a pack of Batman papers, and as Tom loves all things DC, Marvel or Star Wars...they were perfect for him.....

The background papers was included in the pack along with various die cut characters. I included Batman and Nightwing on this which I attached with foam pads.
The only thing I added to this card, is the die cut number 16 which I used a Moonstone die for.

After spending hours wondering what type of card to make for him and hunting through everything, in the end it only took 15 minutes!!
