Little boy blue...

I decided to make a boy card for a few different challenges this week and I found this adorable image free to download from HERE, what a cutie eh?!! My papers are all from Nitwits and I have distressed and glittered all edges - boys can have glitter too!!!



I have used Promarkers and chalks to colour my image...







...my buttons are all from stash...





...I painted the stars with crackle paint and glittered the edges...

Challenges entering with this card:

The Sweet Stop #58 - Sketch

Creative Inspirations - Distressing

Aud Sentiments - Its your day...

Dare u2 didi #38 - one for the boys

Simon Says challenge - blue, green and brown

Promarkers - anything goes

Thankyou for looking

Big hugs

  18. Wow Emma,
    I absolutely adore this card. I wouldn't have thought buttons, glitter and distressing would have looked so good on a little boys card but it really does! It looks so masculine aswell as dainty and cute. Buttons are one of my favourite things to have on cards and scrapping pages, I just adore them.
    Great job creating another masterpiece Sis!
