Good morning and welcome to my blog. Today I'm showcasing a card I made for my husband's birthday, he is Irish hence the shade of green. This card was totally out of my comfort zone. It didn't have flowers or a coloured image. But I do find it hard to make masculine cards. There are only so many fish you can colour, folded shirts and ties, so I gave this a go and I was really pleased with how it turned out. Also, I was able to use up a lot of scraps.
A quick peak of the inside of the card.
Challenge's I'm Entering:
5. Love to Scrap Challenge #166 Anything Goes TOP PICK
(That photo was perfect as my husband is Irish and that's why his card is a shade of GREEN)
( Snippets of all leftovers out of my box of leftover ribbon, jute, last button and scraps of paper leftover.
2. Coloured Card: Bazzil Palo Verde
3. Design Paper: Gypsy Rose
6. Embellishments: There are too many to name
Scrap paper from my stash, brads, hessian, leftover ribbon from my son's wedding, buttons, and gold gems.
etc, etc
7. Tools Used:
8. Stamps Used: A vintage set of digital clocks.
9. Dies: All unbranded dies.
