It's time for the next challenge on Lili's Little Fairies blog, and this time it's one for the boys. Our sponsor for this challenge is Nitwit Collections so I have used some of their papers that came as a freebie in a craft magazine. I must say I am loving these papers and once they are gone I'll be ordering replacements!
Onto my card then. I've inked up the gone fishing stamp with brown Momento and coloured with my Copics, shades of E40s along with B21 & B24 plus BG93 & BG96.
I've inked the edges of everything with brown chalk ink and cut plain corners with an old Sizzix Squeeze die. Then to embellish I've diecut buttons, the little bird and swirls from Marianne dies then punched out the flowers with a Nellie Snellen punch and emboss set - hopefully it's manly enough, even with the gross grain ribbon.Totally Stampalicious blog also have a men/boys challenge, and at Creative Inspirations it's an anything goes week so I'll enter my card with them too.
Stunning card Annie!
