Being the grandmother of 4 boys, I always need a card for one of them. Sometimes all of them. So I try and find images that will work for them. Of course they like the no frills approach and I struggle not to put flowers or pearls on their cards. But boys are a whole nother breed, so I try and respect their wishes. I did, however, add a ribbon on this one. But if you notice, not a flower in sight!
I colored the image with my brushes and Ranger Distress Inks. This one will go in my box of cards for the boys and then when I need it, I can just go to the box and pick one. I hope you enjoy this one.
Well that's about it for me this morning. Have a wonderful day and no matter where you are or whatever you are doing, try and find a moment just for you and "Breathe".

Glenda, this is a perfect card for a boy. I see you were up at the crack of silly this morning. Mind you when we farmed that was our rising time too. Have a lovely day. Hugs from Scotland. Rita xx

That is a GREAT boy card! I love the shading you've done. I'm the same way about not putting some sort of embellishment on every card - but you're right, they do like it better when there is less on the card. Fabulous work!
Love your boy card! I don't often make them but a friend asked me to make one for her 13 yr old nephew who plays guitar. Was thrilled with the card but forgot to get a picture before giving it to her!!!
Fantastic guy card, Glenda! It's such a great image and you've colored it flawlessly!
Glenda, this is absolute perfection both in your creation of it and the purpose of maintaining the look for a guy. I love it!!!
Fabulous card, especially if it goes to one of the grandsons, right! You always so so well coloring your images, love the colors you chose for this one! Have a wonderful day!
This is boy card perfection!Your coloring is magnificent!
Hi Glenda,
This is a great card for a boy!!! You are better than me - I don't try to make "boy cards." Oh well.
Hugs,

Hey, stranger! Just caught up again--what amazing cards! I especially like this one. A certain third grader in my life would love it!
Hope all's well with you. Have a great week!
Good idea, stamping ahead. It's a great image for a boy. Beautiful watercoloring.
