I've been working diligently on some birthday/valentine cards for my sister and it's been a little tough. See...she asked for "manly" cards...and I don't do too well with those. It's stretched me out of my comfort zone quite a bit this last week or so, but I have a new found love for "manly" cards :)
I wanted to share one of the cards I made for her (I'll share another tomorrow) because I just love it so much!
But I tried to get over my fear with this card..and I think I did pretty good! The stamp is Scooter Boy and I've colored it all in with my ShinHan markers. No frilly girly stuff...no ribbons or pearls..man that was hard! Since the card is for a 6 year old, I wanted a fun catchy sentiment, so I used some stamps from Lawn Fawn and stamped them onto a label to tuck under the border. Then finished it all off with some star brads to pull that theme up from the border as well.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
