I hope you are enjoying my more regular posts. Today I have two offerings for you. The first is a 'man' card! It was a special request from Elaine who comes to one of my monthly classes.
...
We all agreed that man cards and presents are the hardest - but I was happy with this gender neutral design! :D
The background stamp is called 'Sanded' and gives a great effect on the Creamy Caramel cardstock. The designer paper is from the Tea & Crumpets collection, which I just love - a great mixture of browns, yellows and pinks.
...
The olive image is from A Touch of Nature - such a great stamp set - there will be more samples using this set coming up soon. It is stamped in Old Olive ink, (of course), then the leaves are coloured using a Mellow Moss marker and the olives are painted with Elegant Eggplant ink.
...
We finished the card with linen thread, which is easy to attach with a glue dot at the back.
...
One final project, versions of which I have showed before - but they look SOOOO cute! Stacking boxes - love them!
...
More of those Tea and Crumpets papers and a spot of the It's Beautiful wheel went together to make these sweet stacks.
Let me know what you think!
What a great manly card..And what gorgeous box's. I love your craft room. :)
ReplyDeleteWell done with the man's card. Love the mix of textures from the sponging and twine and sanded background. Great rugged feel to it.

I like the simplicity and textures of the first card. Really good for a guy or gal. The pink boxes are so pretty. They could be a present all on their own.
ReplyDeleteI really like your man card. I like the textures and colors you used to make it masculine.
