Today I made a boy card. It's very rare that I would do a boy card. For a long while girls outnumbered boys. Boys have evened things out now though. I have 5 nieces and 5 nephews. My Sister has one on the way.
I used some blue card stock and made it into a top folding card. I stamped the mobile image from Lawn Fawn Plus One stamp set and coloured it in using Promarkers using masculine colours like blue and green etc.
I thought the image on its own seemed too small so I got out some marabou feathers. I got out a pale blue background paper and stuck the feathers using glue. I then stuck the mobile image over the marabou feathers using foam squares to make the mobile come away from the backing paper. It also made the feather look as though they were part of the mobile. 
I used pattered scissors around the edges and stuck the backing paper down with some foam adhesive and for the sentiment I used white card stock and blue embossing powder. Using patterned scissors on the corners made it look more interesting to look at. I stamped and coloured the stars from the Plus One stamp set and stuck them to the edges of the sentiment. I used a blue gel pen around the edges being careful when moving the marabou feathers.
I really enjoyed making this card. although the marabou feathers made it a bit fiddly and the glue etc. It was worth it to see the outcome of this card.
