I picked a favorite Stamping Bella gnome stamp and I cut the image to put the tag at an angle. The background has been made with 2 stencils - the Deco Wallpaper from Altenew, and the numbered one is Tim Holtz.
I debated whether only to use string, but I liked the effect of the yellow seambinding ribbon in there. I think both ribbon and flowers can be used for masculine designs as long as it's not "too frilly". The birthday greeting is made with my Dymo.
This card is for

Agree that ribbon is a perfect embellishment for masculine cards as long as it's not too frilly as you say.
The bold shades of the colours on your stencilled background are fabulous with the gnome tag
Beautiful card, thanks for playing at TMR challange

Love these colors together Pia and what a fabulous stenciled background! I think the bright colors work well for masculine cards!
So glad to see that you use a more vibrant and colourful palette than your usual, as you make a fabulous card!! So cheerful and sunny! LOVE that cute gnome peeking out from the flowers and the double stencilling! Glad to see that used again a your own Dymo sentiment, too! I have a Dymo machine too, very unused. Thanks for the inspiration!

Love love love the colors you used - and love your double stenciling, have just not thought to do that "yet". I am a gnome lover - and this one is adorable. Great job and like how you used the tag for your focal point.
