Hello everyone, it's my turn to host at Allsorts challenge this time around and my theme is For Boys or Men. Of course the Anything Goes option is there too and I hope you can join us. We have prizes from Sweet Poppy.
I came across this fun stamp with sentiment by Penny Black (40-327 "A little bird") on
eBay a few months ago and the price was just right so I clicked the
"Buy It Now" button :) This is my first time using it. I think it's
perfect for masculine cards and of course for any cat lover. I'm a bird lover too but do find this funny as long as this wouldn't happen in real life!!
I stamped on Bristol Vellum paper and
colored with my Derwent Inktense pencils. On the background I used a "speckled" stencil from this Tim Holtz set. On the bottom portion I used a birthday background stamp from My Favorite
Things (retired) and inked with gray ink. I did stamp the image onto a post
it note to make a mask to use when I inked the floor. My sewing machine is
still closeby so I stitched around the edges.

Oh my GOSH, this card is simply adorable. That image is so stinkin' cute, and the addition of the black and white harlequin patterned paper really makes the whole thing pop. Lots of wonderful work, you certainly have an eye for color and design. Well done, thanks for playing along with us over at Double D.
