happy birthday tag card

i think this might be a *FIRST* for me: a "guy card" made with *floral* paper??! but the flowers are quite stylized, and the colors are very muted, and the coordinating embellies i've used from the april pixie kit COUNTRY FARM STAND are quite masculine, so i think it works.


i'm happy about that since it means once again i have met my self-imposed goal of making at least one pixie card per month suitable for sending to a gentleman! :)

more details, as always, on the pixie blog, not to mention loads of other projects made by my fellow pixies who are, as i believe i've mentioned before, GENIUSES, so you'll definitely be inspired seeing their work... i know i always am! enjoy, darlings!

    You can do anything with paper...I think it may be your super power. The colors in the floral pattern totally work for a guy. The pattern is large too, and it works well with the houndstooth, which I think is really masculine. I see you added some DYMO too :)

    Fab guy card!
