Yay, off work for a week so hopefully get to do a fair bit of crafting and playing with my crafty stash. Started off fairly well, though with a bit of a difficult card to do. Men, as we know, are notoriously hard to make cards for. Well hey guess what, needed to do a card for my brother-in-law which is hard enough, but he's mid 20's! Not the easiest age range, wouldn't appreciate cutesy, not into fishing, gardening and those sort of past times. Ok so that leaves me with football, what else!
Here's what I came up with;
Totally into the tonal feel at the moment and not bucked the trend with this one either. Gone with masculine browns and creams and matted and layered lots of different elements. Each layer has been edged with Chestnut coloured Promarker
. I particularly like the mat with the grid stamp that I've put the Wellington Bear picture on.
