A Cut Above Card

 

I made these Manly Cards for a swap I am a part of using the A Cut Above stamp set from the Mini Jan-June catalog. I am not a pro at coloring and but I love how these turned out!

I used the clouds to stamp in Seaside Spray (retiring ink color) on the stitched rectangles. 

To make it fun I embossed the saying in white embossing powder and stamped the sun and fussy cut it out.
