You can go to town on all the lovely embellishments that can be added ... Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls in abundance and pretty pastel pinks and lilacs Mmmmm Mmmmm !!
But every so often we need to make a card for the boys and then we have to start head scratching to come up with the ideas.
This image was free in a magazine pullout... and there were lots of them on the pages.
I scanned it into the PC and now I can print them off to the size I want whenever I need a new image.
I have coloured all these images with either Spectrum Noir or Promarkers.
This young man is from the LillyBoo collection from Cuddly Buddly
There are many images to choose from and they suit all age groups and occasions.
They are not expensive.... and because they are digital downloads they are yours instantly.
The name on this card makes it more personal and I added the wall background to keep the boyish look.
This one was from KennyK Downloads
The digital papers are all in shades of blue... and are free from Summertime Designs
You will find lots of papers for you to use and this one is the Fathers and Fedoras Kit.
Buttons are always a good addition to male cards and the sentiment for this is from the "Pretty Tuff" CD from PolkaDoodles
But even though it is a male card doesn't mean it can't have some pearly swirls on it.
And this one just adds a little more to the Tug of War boys from KennyK.
