On a GREAT note, my new WMS stamps from the May release are here...including Gingham & Company, woo hoo!
I tried my best to make a distressed masculine quilty/flannel-y looking shirt/blanket, but the lighting was horrible for this photo. On the first go around, I ruined the bottom sentiment panel (when I was all finished) because I stamped the first 2 words of the sentiment, and about half of the rest of them! So I ripped it off and re-stamped... apparently what I thought was a straight line was not! The sweet sentiment is from "Blessed by You".
Thanks for stopping by, I'll do better on the next masculine waltz (I am just crossing my fingers that it is 12 months from now, giggle!)

I think this is so fun and a great idea for a card front! I love the colors and all of your little panels! I never would have thought gingham for a guy card and you did a great job with it!

I can see the flannel blanket in your card, what a neat idea!
They really do look like patches of flannel! Way to go!
Ooh, a whole card of gingham, with buttons and twine included. Can it get any better?!! Love it!
Love your gingham patchwork card. Masculine but warm and cozy too!
Flannel... a great choice for guys! Good job.
Wow! It's a perfect male card Kelly. Brilliant use of the stamps - may need to case that idea from you if that's okay for all the menfolk in my life. A wonderful creation.

P.S. Thanks you so much for the wonderful words you left on my blog today - I was so touched by them.
Cozy-10! Masculine-10! Yep! You did it again and if you wish it, I hope you don't have to do it again for another 12 months unless you REALLY want too!! grin! Now, you had a different gingham that was hard to line up. How does this one work for you?!!
Ach.....it's great......just like my DH's warm brushed cotton shirts...yeh....I can't see anything wrong with it at all!!
