Hello Blog Friends - thanks so much for dropping my today - I always love to know you have been!  I thought it was time I shared a masculine card with you.

I have used a stamp set I won in a challenge a little while ago - and I have to admit I love this wonderful gentleman from Fronzcraft - a New Zealand company that I had never visited before but am thrilled to have won this set and a few individual stamps - worth checking them out - I was pleasantly surprised by the prices too.

I have stamped the image using IMAGINECrafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink in Espresso Truffle - don't you love that colour!!!  The background is created using IMAGINECrafts®/Tsukineko® Kaleidacolor™ Dye Inkpad in Tomato Vine.

The side of the card has been embellished using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine and the  Sprightly Sprockets Spellbinders® Shapeabilities®
