Here is my attempt.The backing card is Tim Holtz Kraft-Core. I used a buttons embossing folder and then sanded the card to get to the core card underneath. The banner was cut out using the Cameo and also sanded. I used an orange/brown card for backing everything and matched that with the striped piece of paper.
The little mouse and strawberry were coloured using Promarkers (please forgive me but I cannot find the colour list I used at the moment). Here is a close up:
Apart from a few gold beads and the sentiment I have left this card as it is so the focus is more on the mouse (I hope that's the case anyway).
Well, last weekend we didn't manage to get out so no beautiful photo's. It did snow again yesterday but it melted pretty quickly. I did manage to do a Scrapbook page which I will show at a later date, so feeling pretty pleased with myself so far because I have never done one before.
Hope you all have a great weekend x

Oh I love this card Angela, I always struggle with male themed cards too. I love the layout and the embossed background, I always forget about my embossing folders (need to make more effort!) The colours are great too, just right for the men! ;)
