The first is a clean and simple, one layer card created for a little boy's birthday - no frills and doo-dads for him to pull off! A little bit of masking and reverse masking and a dab of Glossy Accents for the balloon means there's still plenty of interest though, I love it when you manage to pull off a card with impact using minimal supplies!

I added some denim from an old pair of jeans for interest and to play up his overalls. Denim just needs orange stitching though, doesn't it?
There are more cute stamps in this set - you'd never guess it from these two cards but it's actually the perfect set for Easter (bunnies, chicks and eggs galore!).

ooh groan at the chick-in lol! Cute little fellow in his overalls, lovely cards. The baloon one reminds me of Pooh!
I get excited about masking, too!

What a great job you did of combining those stamps. I love you chickie with attitude in front of the pickup. Love him!
How clever to use the actual denim as the background for the stamped images.
Great male card Joanne. :)
Gorgeous cards Joanne, love the simplicity of the first one and the fun element to the second. Did you airbrush for the background of the first?
