Hopscotch Birthday

I have a masculine card to share today... with a whole whack of male relatives with birthdays over then next couple of months, I wanted to get a handle on my supply of cards, so I made up four of these:

I kept it fairly simple, used the Hopscotch papers & Hello-Life stamp sets from Close To My Heart along with three matching Creative Basics cardstocks (they have a tone-on-tone glossy pattern on them that you can barely see in the photo).  Then I die cut the Spellbinder's Feathers in three colours of cardstock and tied them with a bit of waxy flax.  I popped up the sentiment circle and tucked the feathers in behind it.

Another Vintage Vixen

 I've been playing with another one of the newly released Vintage Vixens from Art Impressions!  All of the ladies in this collection have a little bit of attitude going on, which I absolutely love :o)  Here is my card using Six Layer Set (Sku #4592):

 One of the papers in this pack had a smaller pattern on it, so I decided to paper piece her dress, and coloured the rest of her up with Copic markers.  Don't forget that our Make Me Smile challenge is still happening here on the blog - and I think my little Vintage Vixen fits the bill perfectly.  You can link up your own creation here and have the chance to win a prize! 

 Happy stamping everyone.
