Victory !!!

I'd like to thank the girls at the Incy Wincy Challenge for letting me play along with them again as a guest designer this week.   However, I've really dropped a clanger, because their theme is 'boys'.  Well, any of you who visit me regularly will know that this theme is just not in my nature. Where are the flowers, pearls, glitter or anything remotely pink?

I despair.  I feel that being bereft of all these lovely girlie things makes my card rather bland.

However, I have included some lovely satin ribbon, although no bow :0(  because this week's boys challenge is sponsored by Fantastic Ribbons (Oh I love their ribbons!!!) and also Kenny K digi downloads.

Here's my attempt.

If anyone has any tips for boys cards please leave me a comment.  Be gentle though !!!

You've got a great boy card here! I think embellishments are like conversations: girls are chatty and boys just grunt.

Nothing wrong with this fabby card...ticks all the boxes for a male card...but I know what you mean about the lack of embellies when we HAVE to make a male card..! I rely on stars, buttons, arrows...not that any male I know even bothers to look...hahaaa!
