Morning Folks, another week has spun by and it's time for another challenge at Allsorts where the lovely Amanda would like us to make cards suitable for boys and men.......you know, the problems area in crafting.
My card uses a new stamp that my hubby picked up recently at Stampalot as he thought he would be good for male cards, so here it is to prove his point. It is Art Impression T1221 Country House which I stamped with versafine black and embossed with detail clear and added some leaves to the trees with Art Impression A893. The image is coloured with Aquamarkers and the DP is My Minds Eye, with some buttons and cord to finish. This card is also for the following challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - 3,2,1, recipe (3 buttons, two papers, one bow)
Pixie Dust - Button up
Sweet Stampin - Clear as Mud (brown plus one)

This is one gorgeous creation, I love it. It looks so tranquil, just the right place to be crafting in.
ReplyDeleteYour hubby picks fab stamps Brenda, My hubby's last buy for me was Looney Tunes stamps in a sale, I said what am I supposed to do with them, he said Bobby's Birthday card, method in his madness.
And what a good choice your hubby has made.....a lovely card Brenda. Love all the twine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever hubby Brenda! This image is perfect for a male card. And just the right sort of colours for the image too.
ReplyDeleteBy the way thanks very much for sending out my lovely butterfly stamp prize. I'll need to experiment with it soon. I've been out all day today to my fav craft shop where Kath was demoing Hero Arts stamps.
