For the next two weeks, at
Fashionable Stamping Challenges, we would like to see a project for a guy. It could be a Valentine card, or any other card or project for a guy in mind. Our sponsor Cottage Crafts is now offering the overall winner a chance to choose their own prize to a limit of 7euros. Please pop over and take a look at the amazing catwalk. The Fashionettes have again produced some amazing pieces for your pleasure. My husband adores the great outdoors, he is a keen bird watcher, so the type of card I usually make for him is of the countryside. This card is not only using Sheena Douglass's stamps but is similar to one she recently made on C&C TV. The stamps are the Faith set in the Sketchy series. I used TH Distress inks to add all of the colour, by blending, directly stamping and as a watercolour. I look forward to visiting your blog to see your projects for the guys in your life.
Remember, STAMPING must be a main feature and be clearly seen. Have fun, thank you to any who visit and comment on my card, your ocmments are always appreciated.
This is lovely Caz! Wanted to say congrats on your new DT post too. Xx

A gorgeous card Caz and just love the bird theme. Lovely colours too and so perfect for a bird watcher (something I like doing with the huge variety we get in our garden which include pheasants and a sparrow hawk which might not seem strange until you hear that we live one road back from the sea!)
ReplyDeleteHugs, Fliss xx
