The cat's out of the bag!

I'm here again to show you a card I made for one of my male friends who has recently got a new job using more gorgeous goodies from Quixotic Paperie...

 
 


I find grown up male cards are pretty hard to make (give me a boy anytime!!) but I thought this image was cute but not girlie - so hopefully suitable! This is Mo Manning's Cat's Out of the Bag for Stamping Bella - such a great image and it's currently got 15% off!  I used the blue checked papers from the My Minds Eye Lime Twist Fly a Kite paper pad and the grey spot paper from the Echo Park Be Mine paper pad.


Hope you like!  Back later with my DT card for the Pixie Dust Studios challenge!


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Mediums: Copics
Accents: clip from stash
Tools: EK Success border punch, Nestabilities dies
