I made this card a couple of days ago and never got round to blogging it. I am trying to get a few male cards in my stash as i always get caught out when it comes to a family members birthday and my brain then goes blank.

I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges:

Cards Galore Challenge   One for the Men

The image for this one is from stampndoodle called Chickadee.

The backing paper is from hot diggity dog by Andrea jayne.

The square diecut is a spellbinders

I am looking for detail of the floral one.

Thank you for passing by and looking and any comments left are greatly appreciated.
