Sending Just a Little CHEER

             Make It Monday #261
             Using Florals on a Masculine Project



                     It's not always easy to make a card for a man and in my family that is a concern 
                     as I have a husband, two sons, three grandsons, a brother, two BILs and uncles.
                     The challenge with Betsy Veldman at capture the moment  gave me some
                     tips on incorporating florals stamps from my stash to make a masculine card.
                     Usually I use geometric figures, trees or leaves but a flower in the right color 
                     and shape works too! I decided to also make the card larger, 4.5 x 6".




My idea for the banner came from a card design Dawn McVey made during the September release.
