Anything Masculine

This little image is called Juggling Dice - good for a male I think - well, at least some of them!!

I decided to give my little chap with poker dice to add more colour and thought the Basic Grey spotted paper would co-ordinate with the dice.  Not much else to say about it really - it's pretty  normal for a Male card - straightforward!!!
I made this card on Friday and put it together on Saturday and lucky me (for a change) the theme for Less is More Challenge this week is................ 

Round and Round !!!

Bingo - done before the challenge was listed!!!

lovely hAnglar or sweet Magnolia

I've use one of my favourite Tilda today -  Hello little Butterfly, she appears fairly regularly usual with the Magnolia Open Gate - she just looks perfect there for me!!!

Our Challenge at Lovely Hanglar & Sweet Magnolia is.....

Girls Only!!!

If you haven't realized Violet/Lavender is one of my favourite colour - so there is plenty there and I've use some gorgeous colours with Bearly Mine - Minxed Media, sadly I have coloured most of it up - as is my usual trick!!! I used a variety of dies for flowers - a couple who have been inter-laced with the Diamond Net Whte Netting Crinoline, dyed with Distress Inks.
Please do not, NOT look at the ribbon, I used to get it from a local show - I think they are selling out - now all I could achieve was that stuff - yuck!!!  It is very fine and seethrough but will not photograph. I photo'ed one piece folder back and that is the reaction - bizarre - I shall not be using that again!!!

Mo Manning's little Sailor Boy!!!

I made this card for another challenge but I got it wrong - again, another oops!!!

The current challange at  Mo's Digital Challenge is K..........for now I had to think hard to slot this into the challenge using a K........I came up with K.........got - Kit - He is wearing a Sailor's Kit and a Knot on his hat and scart - I suspect I'm stretching things a little too far!!!

This set of Mo Manning's has to be my favourite at the moment, he is just delightful - I've coloured him in  Copics and given it a Simon Says Stamp Naudical Borders looking like rope, I've also used this Nautical Border over the whole of Martha Stewart's Cherish and heat embossed it with cold powder. I cut the buttons and coated them with Stempendous Shabby White Frant-age giving them several coats to created more depth. I tied the buttons with white twine which I used Copics to give the correct colour.
