Keesh's Challenge

I love looking at Keesh's work she creates such lovely cards/scrap pages plus her ideas are always so... terrific. This week I thought I would give her challenge a go (won't compare to her work of course - but I'll give it a go). The colours were perfect to create a 'boy' card this week. Hope you like!

Supplies: cardstock-ruby red, basic grey, baja breeze, whisper white; ink - ruby red, basic grey, whisper white; stamp - ahoy matey; punches - designer label, 1/2 & 1 1/4 circles; ribbon & paper piercer. (Stampin' Up)
