True Gentleman papers - the last bits

I was down to the VERY LAST bits of the True Gentleman designer series paper pack.   All I had left was a pile of 1" strips, and I just did NOT want to throw them out.  So I made backgrounds!  I taped different strips onto card stock. 

My intent was some masculine cards, and this Tim Holtz set caught my eye.  I like that eye glasses on the animals tie in with the eye glasses in the paper. 

I knew I had the perfect stamps to go with it - the DUDE came from an old Paper Pumpkin set, Love You a Lot (April 2015).  I decided on a Happy Birthday for the cat.

For the crazy bird, the strips that I had left didn't quite make it to the bottom of my Tranquil Tide layer, so I stapled on a piece of the Night of Navy Corduroy ribbon to make it even.

I am happy to report that I used up every bit of that True Gentleman paper pack!  Yay!!!
