I got the idea for this card from the Unfrogettable gallery at Splitcoast. You can see the inspiration card
{HERE}. An aunt of mine wanted me to make a miscellaneous card kit of about 20 cards to have on hand. I whipped out most pretty quick until I got to the masculine cards. I'm still not very good at masculine cards. I knew I wanted to use Unfrogettable to make a little boy card and went in search of a good idea. This color blocking with the images was so cute and super easy.

I changed the colors from the inspiration card to fit a little boy. I went with Basic Grey, Always Artichoke, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip and Ballet Blue. I only used scrap pieces to make all the squares. I used my Creative Memories square punch to get them all the same size. I inked all the edges in Close to Cocoa and added the stitching with my SU Basic Black marker. The sentiment was stamped on Brocade Blue and cut out with my Wide Oval Punch. Super easy, I can't wait to try this with some other stamp sets too!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Oooh! What a great layout! Love the colors too :) I can see you're a fellow fan of blue :)
I love it! I have a hard time stamping "outside the box" but I love the way it looks when other people do it. Can you send me Libby's mailing address? She joked on her latest RAK post that if we wanted to send her a RAK to contact one of yall that already sent her one.
What a cute idea, Maria! A perfectly boyish card!
