I've been wanting to use this darling "Snake and Cactus" image (Digi 2305) from QKR Stampede for a long time and decided that this week's challenge was a perfect opportunity. Our new theme is "Clean and Simple" and that gave me a chance to really showcase the image. I turned it into a perfect masculine birthday card.
I used my ProMarkers to color the image and then cut it (and the frames) with Pinpoint dies from Memory Box. Each of those 'layers' is actually inlaid into the next larger one so although it looks like pyramid layers, it's actually only one layer in thickness. Those are also all cut from my newest stash of CS and I love that particular shade of blue with the vanilla and gray. Yes, I cut into something new instead of looking for scraps. :-D
The blue ribbon was in my old stash and the black bow is one of those I make by the dozens (this time without the usual pearl) and have ready when I need them. Everything is mounted onto dove gray CS.

Is it stormy where you are today? We had another day of rain yesterday and this morning looks overcast and gloomy but the weatherman insists we're going to have sunshine. We'll see. :-D Whatever your weather, I want to wish you Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
