STB #13 - Masculine



Sharing a card for this week's Seize the Birthday!  This week, same sketch, but for a masculine card. Four male birthdays in my family during the month of May and I think this one will be suitable for my hubby! LOL I couldn't wait to use my new Bow Ties patterned paper I picked on the weekend at Scrapfest in Kitchener. When I was there I had the pleasure of finally meeting up with Virginia Lu, she is as sweet as can be.  We kept each other in check with our shopping--not even. 
I think we just enabled each other. LOL




Here is the sketch:

Patterned Paper: Bow Ties (Basic Grey)

Oh you lucky-duck! How fun to get to hang out with Virginia!! What a nice picture of you two.

LOVE the tire track embossing under your car ... that EF is just perfect for this! The stripes are so bright, but still masculine. Fantastic card for hubby ... plus then you end up getting to keep the card too, right?!? : )

Tracey, so sorry to comment so late on your card. It is so fun and love that stamp, another one I don't have and every time I see it I start to wonder why I passed it up. I love your color scheme and the green punch buggy, just too cute. How fun to meet a new friend, you both look so cute!
