Quick And Simple 'Boys' Card!

Happy Monday everyone!

I've been having a great time at my craft desk today inking up a little stamp set from Papertrey Ink that I've had for ages........but hadn't yet cracked open!

This particular little stamp set is only 5 bucks......BARGAIN if you ask me.....and it's called Game On!  If you have a 'gamer' in your household.....I think you'd better buy it! lol


Now, I've kept this VERY SIMPLE because lets face it.........boys really don't care about the card all that much! lol

I've gone with the colour scheme of Kiwi Kiss, Basic Grey, White, Black and Riding Hood Red.  The little game controller is actually popped up on a dimensional to make it that little bit more interesting!

Over all, super simple and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Also, I've had people ask me to keep showing the odd photo of my little Teddy!  Gosh he's a gorgeous kitten......just love the little fella!   So, my parting photo is of what he was doing today while I crafted..........he certainly has the life! lol

Hi Karen,
This card is perfect for a boy - I have just purchased that set and can't wait to ink it up as my nephew is turning 14 and it seems perfect! Teddy is GORGEOUS!! What a lovely kitten.

FABULOUS card, K. I love that it's clean and simple, but has plenty of interesting texture and detail to look at (well, for us females to notice, anyway!).
