Almost too many options to go with but I plumped for this old stamp by Judikins for a 'manly' card...
I was totally inspired by this brilliant card by Laura Bassen... isn't that shaped edge just an amazing detail??
I had to try it with this fella after carefully paper piecing him. I've added dimension again with Promarkers which is a fave technique of mine.. I had planned on paper piecing the newspaper twice to get the text going in the right direction but that idea obviously went out of my head as quick as it went in!!!.... oops :0)
Here's how he looks when the card is shut... took me a while to shuffle a piece of stamped acetate about to decide on the best place for the sentiment!!
Thanks for stopping by
