That's what I said when I saw the challenge at Magnolia Down Under. This fortnights challenge is all about a boy. I'm hopeless at male cards and don't even really have any guy images. I borrowed this Edwin stamp from Vickii at work and I'm really happy with how he's turned out. I love this paper I used too, I think it's 7 Gypsies.
The Just Magnolia challenge blog is to paper piece. I pieced my Tilda together the other day and made this quickie 5 minute acetate card tonight. Her dress, shoes and hair bow have been pieced with Sassafrass Lass paper. Not overly impressed with the end result but maybe I should have took my time a bit more :)
Note to self: have a look at the colour ink you pick up before going for it!!!
Tea Dye Distress ink is apparently darker than I think. In my mad rush I grabbed the wrong one, smugged it and then just had to cover the whole little pic.
I do love the acetate cards but, and I haven't made one for ages. Drives me insane trying to get a decent photo of them though.
Hump days been and gone, enjoy the rest of your week!!

Love your 'boy' card...it's all come together so well....know what you mean about them though....'girl' is much easier!!!
love the effect of stamping onto PP and using it as clothing in paper piecing.
2 Great cards love your boy card fab stamp.
Very strong male card you've made.
Love the colours and LO.
And I know what you mean: boy-cards are difficult, 'cause men don't know what they want now, do they?
