Hooray!

 Sharing another guy card today, I had purchased this set of cards from my stamp store, they had a bunch of neat images in it, they have multiple of the same images so to give this card a bit of dimension I cut out the caterpillar from another card and added some foam dots to lift it off the card.

• Hunkydory - Garden Visitors Pocket pad
• Crafter's Square - Birthday sentiment stamps
• Diamond Dots

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
