Boys/Men Cards

I get stuck with boy cards cos I can't stick ribbon or flowers all over them but still force myself to have a go with them as I like to give cards that I've made rather than buy them. I bought the Painting Max stamp from Pink Gem Designs this month and think this is so useful for men and boy cards. I've used it this time for a card for my uncle...

Card blank - Craftwork Cards
Papers - Basic Grey Archaic
Image - Painting Max by Pink Gem Designs coloured with Promarkers
Sentiment - Craftwork Cards
Tools - my favourite scissors to distress all my edges!

I quite like the result of the cream and brown so decided I would tackle another male card, this time I used a cute football bear stamp (this is it's first outing!)...

Card blank - Craftwork Cards
Papers - Basic Grey Infuse
Football bear - Penny Johnson stamp from Dies To Die For coloured with Promarkers
Red card - from stash
Red dew drops - Quixotic Paperie
Sentiment - Craftwork Cards
Tools - scissors, Woodware inverted corner rounder punch

I would like to enter the football bear card into the current Quixotic challenge - One for the Boys.

Thanks for looking x
