Provencal

Another masculine card today this time a birthday card.  I really like this stamp, has that collage feel to it, This was a set I found at the yard sale at my stamp store.  I have tried coloring it before and just didn't like the outcome so this time I just stamped it directly onto the paper and I think I like this better than when I try to color it.



Stampin up -- Provencal stamp set
Cosmo Cricket -- Fleuriste paper
Spellbinders -- classic square lg die
Hot off the press -- Black Jewel Dazzle stickers
American crafts -- Jute

Wow yesterday it got into the 50's here, after those below freezing temps this actual felt warm, so thankful for these days that give you a little break from the very cold temps.

Thanks so much for stopping by today,

Connie

Oh, I like it just like this! Some stamps just don't need coloring. What a wonderful guy card this makes, Connie. I like those Jewel Dazzle stickers, too. A nice embellishment without bulk. I can't believe it's been this long since I did any blog visiting. Catching up now. Hope you had a merry Christmas!
