Dueling Darlings Card--for the Guys!


It is the 15th of the month and that means another Dueling Darlings challenge. Our hostess this month for the Divas is LJ and she sent us a great kit. The theme that Terry, the hostess for the Dazzlers and LJ came up with is masculine cards—giving a shout out to all of the guys in our life.


I think the image is cute, but the sentiments LJ sent to go along with the mower are great—the other choice was "Love Ya' mower and mower"! I hope you like my gate-fold card that I will send to my brother—the best guy in my life!


I really like this patterned paper, so I made sure I used a large piece of it in the inside, along with some of the wonderful ribbon and a slide.

Image/Sentiment—Amuse-Hey Man 

Paper—Stampin’ Up Early Espresso and Old Olive; Gina K White; Little Yellow Bicycle patterned paper

Ink—Memento Brown

Accessories—SU Punches; Copics; Nesties Squares; Green Gingham Ribbon; Ribbon Slide; Screw Brads; PTI Cream Button

Please be sure to stop in to see what all of the Divas as well the Dazzlers have created this month.  All of the blogs are on the left sidebar of my blog.  I am sure you will enjoy all of the cards made for the men in our lives!
