Happy Tuesday, fellow bloggers! Another grey gloomy day here, which begs the question "Who stole Spring?!" Looking at the sky...anything could happen: rain, hail, blizzard, but one thing's for certain... there will be little or no sun today. However, over at the funny farm it's business as usual. In the conservatory where I sequester myself to indulge in my vice (several vices, actually) I've been busy, sedulously so, one might say!  I won't give away too much but here's a product of one vice: a card fashioned on this week's MojoMonday Sketch #238. I made this for my nephew who will be celebrating his 6th birthday in a couple of weeks. Really not sure what Nick's into these days, I just hope he has outgrown his passion for pink hand-bags! (I kid you not.) In the meantime I'm sending him an unequivocal masculine card to celebrate the man-child in him... and perhaps he can be persuaded to pick-up a jackhammer instead!

The papers are from "Blast Off" by Bo Bunny.

I stitched the panels down with bright orange floss. It is after all a bright and bubbly card for a youngster. Note: No pink!

The image and sentiment are form WMS "Half Pint Heroes"  - my trophy from WMSC #91. You can see my winning entry here. Back to the image - I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black and did some paper piecing, with some touch-up here and there with Promarkers. 

As always, plenty of foam tape action.

On the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set. I love this set - it is chock full of images and sentiments for all the studs and studlings in your life. A whimsical masculine set sooo worth having.

Thanks for dropping by.  I'm going to stare at the sky for a bit. Those billowing dark clouds look like they are about to burst. 

Beijinhos.
