PBSC May - Masculine

It's the first Saturday of the month...so that means it's time for a new Penny Black Saturday Challenge...and this month the theme is:

'Masculine'

We are sponsored for this challenge by:

1-2-3 Stitch!:

Prize - a $20 voucher

I love using the Penny Black dog images for masculine cards...this one is from the 'Man's Best Friend' set. I combined him with papers from the 'Awesome Boy' pad from Michaels (found at TK Maxx). I distressed all of the edges, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. I stamped my sentiment (from the 'Cupcakes' set by Hero Arts) on to a speech bubble cut using a Sizzix/Craft Asylum thinlits die.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

• As You Like It - Favourite Patterned Paper or Embossed Paper (I love both, but particularly mixing different patterned papers in layers)
• Cheerful Sketches - Sketch
• Crafting with Friends - Anything Goes
• Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes
• Creative Inspirations - For the Boys or Sporty
• Fab 'N Funky - Three or More Layers
• Fussy & Fancy - Birthdays
• Penny Black & More - Anything Goes
• Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes
• Simply Papercrafts - Anything Goes
• Stamping Sensations - Anything Goes
• Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
