What a perfect sketch for the masculine thank you card that I needed today. Itâs been so crazy at work lately (sorry Iâve been MIA from the gallery) and I wanted to make a thank you card for a guy thatâs been helping out my team a lot lately. It was also a great opportunity to try TLC75 - Balloon Backgrounds. It involves filling a balloon with something and stamping out a background with it. One of the suggestions was jellybeans and guess what I have an abundance of at my house this week! So I half-filled my balloon with jellybeans and stamped the corner that was supposed to have âa subtle backgroundâ. then I stamped and cut my banner greeting. And I decided it would be fun to use some stickers. So I grabbed these kind of sports âMVPâ stickers and stuck them on. But they disappeared into the background and looked sad. I peeled them off and grabbed a piece of black cardstock and just tore the edges and stuck it underneath the stickers. Much better. Oh, and I also splattered some black paint now that I know how to. LOL! I do still consider myself a novice card-maker.

Stamping with jelly beans - huh! I've been doing it wrong - I've been eating them. The pattern you got with them is really interesting and I love the arrow stickers. Great masculine card!
