Hello peeps hope you are well today.
I struggle with cards for men so am going to make an effort to join in with more male orientated challenges this year to increase my stock. So, here is the first attempt ( as promised Julie)!!
Now, I really didn't need any more stamps BUT another accidental purchase happened after Kat shared a couple of cards using the Taylored Expressions Party Grumplings so, unfortunately, I had to get them!! They are just right for man cards so I am intending to get value from them. He was coloured with Pro/Flexmarkers and the spotty paper was from a Craftwork Cards pad. The perfectly coordinated button was from my button tin and I added some hemp twine to finish off.
I am playing here

LOL!! This is too cute!! I think it's a great masculine style card! My hubby loves blue and humor is a great idea for a masculine design! :) I always need masculine style cards, so I try to make one up whenever I can. Thanks for sharing! HUGS
Fabulous male themed card Sarah. I struggle with these also! Love the grumpy bunny and your stunning papers.
