Happy Friday! I had planned to make this post last night but I got the chance to hang out and talk with Meg just girl talk. She doesn't always want to do that anymore so I took advantage of it and we spent my computer time chatting. It was time totally well spent!
So today you get my masculine card instead. This card was a customer request. She asked for this truck in blue. Beyond that, I had free rein.
I like using kraft cardstock (a lot) and decided it would pair nicely with the blue. The truck is from River City Rubber and it stamped with Palette Prussian Blue ink. The sentiment is from Spunky Stamps and uses the same blue ink.
The patterned paper is from Bo Bunny and is called Walnut Stripes. You don't need a full explanation for this card.
I am still having a tough time believing that June is really here. I think its partly due to the chilly temperatures, the rain and the three weeks we have left of school! This weekend we celebrate my mom who just had her birthday yesterday. Oops - I need to go make her a card! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
I love using kraft cardstock a lot, too! It seems to go with everything - in fact I have to make cards for a color swap where the scheme I picked contains kraft. Hope it warms up where you are - it finally did here today!

Cannot beleive you have three weeks left of school, we're all done here. Although I agree with you about the weather, it is cccccooooolllldddd here! We were at a grad party and had to leave because it was outdoors and it is in the 50s and raining.
Nice guy card.
