Papertrey Ink April Blog Hop Challenge

Hey everyone, its the 25th, and that means its the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop Challenge!  This month's challenge gets you creating for the men in your life:
The Challenge:
This month's blog hop is dedicated to all the boys and men in our lives! Now's your chance to create Father's Day projects, boy birthday cards and more to build up your stash! Focus on masculine color schemes, fresh pattern combinations, understated embellishments and unique uses of images you may already have in your stash!
Here's my card for the challenge, its a sweet little boy birthday card.  I just love this little turtle from the Tiny Treats: Birthday stamp set.  (I secretly hope that PTI turns this turtle into it's own Boy Basics stamp set!!) I used PTI white cardstock as the card base.  The squares are punched from Basic Grey Hello Luscious pattern papers.  The turtle is stamped onto a Spellbinders: Lattice Rectangles die cut, and I sponged the edges with Memento: Pear Tart ink. I colored the turtle with Copic markers, and then used glossy accents on its shell, to make it shiny.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day and enjoy the hop!!

Aww, this has such a fun mix of graphic and fun elements to it! I would also love to see that adorable little turtle featured in his own set. Great job!
