I find cards for guys to be ridiculously hard ... when it comes to buying stamps I am drawn to flowers, butterflies and other girly stuff (and a long time follower of my blog will be aware that I'm quite fond of pink as well). So I had to hit the internet for inspiration, and broke in a new stamp set (Postage Due) I just received last week for the occasion.
I used to do a lot of the "collage" type stamping, back in my pre-Stampin Up days, so it surprised me that it was kind of hard to put this together at first. Guess I'm out of practice. Of course, the background here is all one stamp, so that was pretty easy LOL. I placed the stamps along the right hand side to cover up the flower image (not very masculine).
And here's a closeup of the Bitty Banners framelit with the coordinating stamp from the Itty Bitty Banners set, as well as the large shape from the Apothecary Accents in Summer Starfruit, which I have embellished a little by adding pierced holes using the new Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack. And look! Something else from the new catalogue! I used one of the Delicate Designs embossing folders to fancy up the strip of Midnight Muse cardstock.
