It is all about the man today . . . .

I do not know about anyone else, but I find that I rarely make masculine cards.  Which amazes me since half of the cards I need to give are for men/boys.  So, why do I find it so hard?  I think it may be because I find very few masculine stamps that I see & have that feeling of  . . . I have to have.  So when I saw this digital stamp, Carpenter Joe, from Tiddley Inks, http://tiddlyinks.com/item_201/Carpenter-Joe.htm, I had to have him.  Not only do you receive Carpenter Joe, but also a digital file for a hammer & his workbox (toolbox). 


Digital stamp, Carpenter Joe (on this card, I did not use the separate files of the toolbox & hammer)
Papers, Close to My Heart
Screw looking Brads, from my stash
Corner punch, Stampin Up

Did the faux stitching w/ a Cutter Bee Bugs & Copic Multiliner

The card was entered into the following challenges --

Card Ideas Challenge -- Let's Hear it for the Boys,

Tiddly Inks  -- Challenge # 46 You're A Stitch,

Crafty Creations -- Challenge #15 It's as Easy as 1,2,3,

As always, thanks for looking -
Christine
