The theme for the Waltzingmouse Blog Hop this month is masculine cards. Eva and Claire always have one birthday party or another to go to, so I made a card for the next boy!
Used stars and sentiment from Sewing Box Hugs, and then stamped the "stem" from the flowers across them in a stripedy pattern. Background is the knit pattern from Faux Fun. Cardstock is Enchanted Evening, kraft, and Vintage Cream from Papertrey Ink. The hardest part about masculine cards is the embellishing! So I kept it to a minimum with a little twine and paper-piercing around the sentiment at the top.
Will join the waltz later when I get home...thanks to Lisa for being the Link Master for me again!
