Teenage Boys

Hi there! Hope you had a fab weekend and are ready for a new week. We had a dinner out at a Malaysian restaurant and I'm still high on the gorgeous spicy flavours, yum!

This week at Cupcake the fabulous Denise has chosen the theme to be Teenage Boys. I've made a card for a young man who's celebrating his 17:th birthday and I had a quick check with hubby to see if the card could fit a young man...he said: "OOO Camouflage Colours"!!! I guess it was ok then, he he!

We're being sponsored by Lili Of The Valley who are offering a £10 Gift Voucher. Our special monthly sponsor is Crafts U Love who are offering a £15 Gift Voucher. Check our blog for all the details and to see the teams fantastic work! And please go and share some well deserved love with our new teamie, the fantastic Keeley! A warm welcome on board hun!

I used:
The backing paper is from Stitchy Bears Stamps, it was muted with Distress Ink and stamped with Hero Arts large wood grain stamp. The numbers were cut out with Cuttlebug Olivia alphabet die. Some torn and distressed paper scraps and half pearls and voilá, a card is delivered!

I'm entering:

One Stitch At A Time: Anything Goes

Have a fabulous week full of cupcakes and fun!

Warm hugs
Maarit
