I wanted to use some of the paper scraps leftovers from Scrapboys, most of them from the series of Lady in Red. I also cut out a leaf, my favorte die of the moment, from Little Birdie.
I inked all edges in brown distress ink and splattered with black ink. A leftover piece of lace was added too.

Moving along with the Times - #190 June, Use Your Favorite Stamp, Die or Tool (lef die)
My favorite cards to make are the ones for the boys and men of any age. So this weekend I sat down and created this card, using an old cut out image from Maja Design. I chose to keep with blue, white and silver colors, as well as a jeans and star theme. I find stars always work as an embellishment for the masculine designs.
I used several dies: star and sentiment tags from Gummiapan, small stars and photo frame from Lawn Fawn, a star frame from Dixi Craft and stitched star dies from Craft&You.
This card is for:
AAA Birthday Challenge - #86 For Boys
The Paper Players - #789 Masculine

At Inkspirational the new challenge is a visual prompt and we want to
see you use our sketch.
I love playing with sketches, but it's been awhile. I love cutting and Craft o'Clock has many series to choose from. Here I used 4 frames and for butterblies and a designer paper. A greeting in Norwegian and 3 enamel dots were the only embellihsments,
I was inspired by the circles and the greeneries. So out came my new Little Birdie background die, bought during my recent 3 week stay in India. The circles being not entirely round shaped I though they would also make great giraffe spots. The giraffe image and sentiment are from Craft Stash, included as a freebie with a UK magazine some years ago.I love African themed animals and prints, so I have saved the set until now. The background paper is Craft o´Clock. I used arch dies as my panel for the image and decorated with leaves made with dies from Simple and Basic and small flowers from Little Birdie.
