I have to be honest, I have a difficult time making male cards. I can't use flowers and stickles. (wiping the tears away). Now to the details. Matthew is heat embossed and colored with Copics. His eyes and all the dinosaurs have crystal effects applied to them for shine. The thread on the ribbon was not the right color so I also colored it with Copics. The sentiment "Hi" is stamped with stazon on the gold metal ribbon slider. After going through my stash of embellishments, I came across the two red polka dotted brads and thought that's it - punched two 3/4" circles, inserted the brads and came as close to flowers as I could (hehe).
The sketch for the card is from the Fridays Sketchers . I am also entering this card in the Allsorts Challenge - Just for Boys

Hi Dianne
A lovely card using a lovely little chappie.
Great papers and fantastic stitching.
I love cards that are decorated inside and out - but never get chance to do this myself. It takes me all my time to do the front!!
