ONE STITCH AT A TIME CHALLENGE #117 - FOR THE MAN

Hi folk

Here we are again with a DT post for One Stitch at a Time.   The theme is ' For the man in your life' ( Fathers Day, male birthday etc) 
Sponsor : Creative Craft World with 3x Promarkers

I was lucky enough to work with this gorgeous image from Stitchy which is available from  Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps 
Perfect for the Gardener!  I have coloured it with Copics and Promarkers.  It is called 'Stack Em' 
There is not a lot to this card but it took me simply ages to get it right. The papers are Tim Holtz.  The fabulous flowers was from a  gift from my Teamie Choccy.  (Thanks Choccy! )  The brads were from my stash.  I really wanted some jute twine but did not have any so I improvised with a piece of raffia I had given to make the bow etc.
 
Does everyone struggle with male cards like I do?


Thanks for looking today,

Judy x
