I used Gus Birthday - Optional from Bugaboo Stamps for this project. The sentiment comes with the stamp as well. My design was going to be a little bit different, but I had a terrible incident with my Silhouette. Somehow my image got moved after I printed it (obviously it was me, but I sure don't know how or why!!) and he got sliced in half!! I had to fussy cut him instead of having him in an oval. Thank goodness I was able to save him! I also needed a larger scalloped oval so I used this Silhouette cut file and modified it for my needs.
Since he feels growing up is optional, I raided my boy papers and totally fell in love with this plaid. I used the colors of the paper to color him using Copics. A little twine and a few metal embellishments and he was done!
I hope you will all play along with the challenge this month. Don't let those masculine cards scare you away! You can do it!
