Inspired by Joan B

Joan B is a wonderful stamper, full of fun ideas and delightful creativity, plus her Dear Paperlicious articles are ROTFLMBO funny. Check out Joan B's extremely cool masculine valentine card on her blog Paperlicious. Then come back here and see my take on it....

Welcome back! Here's my version of Joan's fabulously creative and masculine valentine, which, once it got processed through my brain, isn't so masculine anymore. Masculine is just so hard.


So to speak.




Hope you like it! And thanks, Joan, for the inspiration!

Supplies
stamps: PTI Mega Mixed Messages and Polka Dot Basics
ink: real red, Palette Noir
paper: PTI white, SU real red
accessories: ribbon, flower punch, small circle punch, dimensionals

  6. I think as females, our brain can't process the guy card that well. It is a very cute card. Masculine, I think the cute flowers sidetracked that part.

  10. Love this card. Polka dots with gingham always pleases my soul, for some reason. And where you put your sentiments is almost always a place I wouldn't have thought of but always feels more right than where I would have put them.

    Thanks!
