For my brother

It's one of my brother's birthday tomorrow and this is the card I made for him this morning!!! ermmm ..yes I'm late .. it's not that I forgot, but I find these cards so difficult to do and didn't know what to do. ... not that I can get away with doing these cards, three men at home, two brothers and one dad........ 


So anyways, finally I decided to use this sweet stamp, which I coloured with my promarkers and it was a freebie in the Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine.... got out these papers, after I was inspired by a stripes and polka dots themed challenge, and done it! 

The striped paper is from Papermania and the dotted one is from The Cutting Cafe'. I cut the stars with my new DieNamics die... and it's one of the goodies I bought ... am having so much fun experimenting with :)) Hope you like my card and perhaps have inspired you myself now  :)

Thank you for looking.

These are my challenges-
- Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday - STRIPES AND POLKA DOTS
- Simon Says Challenge - ANYTHING
- Crafts 4 Eternity 17 - ANYTHING
- Paper Cutz 89 - ANYTHING

    Well I think you've dealt with this masculine card block brilliantly, Dora.

    Sorry I've not visited as often as usual whilst I'm on vacation -heading home for Thursday so . . . back to reality!
