Cuddly Buddly Robbie

I haven't had much opportunity for cardmaking or using the computer recently. My youngest is just about to take her 'A' levels and has had exclusive use of the desk and computer for the past week or so. Today, she went in to do her first exam, so I made the most of it and managed to do a card and up-date my blog.

'Robbie' is one of my new stamps from Cuddly Buddly http://cuddlybuddly.com/. I really like these cute images created by Kim MacFarlane, and how brilliant to have a stamp for the male members of the family.

I tried to make the card as masculine as possible considering the stamp is on the cutesy side so I chose some HOTP papers in a muted colour. The faux stitching is done using HOTP rubber stamps. I think I went a little over the top with them, but it was their first outing as well. The buttons are Sizzix die cuts.
