A Rockin' Geek


I do love the new Geek Love set from Avery Elle and designed by the talented JJ Bolton, it's a brilliant set for lots of occasions and perfect for guys cards too...


This  stamp set also reminds me of the dress up dolls I used to play with when I was quite young... remember the fold over tabs that held the different outfits on?? I remember getting frustrated when layering up lots of accessories and waiting to see which one tipped the balance and shed the lot from the cardbord doll!!!

Anyhow back to this little guy, I used the small stamp that makes a bun on the little girl to make a pair of headphones for him.... now he looks uber cool and seems to be in the zone listening to his music :)

I just sketched in the headband piece and gave them a trendy colour to match his top. The handrawn city scape from Avery Elle's 'Super' stamp set is a perfect backdrop for him ... another guys card for my stash :)
There are a couple of Masculine themed card challenges I can pop this into too... Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge and The Paper Players

  7. Sorry to mislead you Cindy and Linby, the cityscape is a stamp by Avery Elle with a handrawn style... I've amended the text to make that clearer :)

  14. Oh I so remember those paper dolls with the tabs that would eventually stop holding the outfits on... what a fun thing to remember, and that AE set really does put you in mind of those paper dolls. This card is so adorable, and I love your ever creative use of images like the bun for the headphones!!! Wonderful creation, as always!!
