Getting In Touch With My Masculine Side

Sunday, April 10, 2011

Both my uncle and my brother have a birthday in the beginning of May.  I was going through my stash of cards to see if I had anything already made that would be appropriate for either of them.  I showed a few to Ryan to which he replied, "No way."   

I used my new Postmarks set to make this card for my brother, Tom. 



My uncle is a hunter, so I pulled out a long forgotten sticker from my stash.  Mixed it with some manly texture, perfect for him!


OK, now back to flowers, butterflies, and ribbon!





Cardstock: PTI Dark Chocolate, Kraft, Fine Linen
