Bonne Fête

So I continued my crafting.  I made a little French B-day card.  I wanted to enter in the card for men, and now their challenge is make a manly card with spring colors... not that easy.  When you think men you think darker colors.  At least I do.  But I'm pretty happy with the result.
I used a really cute sketch as the inspiration for this card:
Isn't it cute!  I just had to try doing something with it.  I had to reduce the middle circle however because my card was too small to put another bigger circle... and I had already made my bow... so I was stuck... 

I'm entering this one in the following challenges:
  1. I spy sketches - the amazing sketch
  2. Cards for men - manly card in spring colors
  3. Penny black at all sorts - Oh so cute (with penny black image)
  4. Love to create challenge - Birthday
  5. cc monthly challenge - four legged friends
  6. Whimsy inspires - use ribbon in card
I wonder what my next card will be... these challenges are forcing me to think outside my box and create new things every time!  I just loooove it!  Keep on leaving comments.  It's the best part of having a blog, reading your lovely comments.
