Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges and for this fortnight, yes, you've guessed, the theme is 'It's a Guy Thing'...... which is to make to make any card or project for A Man, and as we are a stamping challenge, the only rule is to included some stamping. As usual we are sponsored by Marina at Cottage Crafts, who this time os offering the winner a chance to pick her own prize to the value of €7.
For my card I stamped the background with various Tim Holtz stamps, the gentleman man image was masked and stamped numerous times before adding the red hat. The adverts stamp is from the Stamp man, bought at last weeks papercrafts show.
As usual there is some fabulous inspiration from my fellow teamies, so please pop over and be prepared to be inspired!
I am also entering this card in:
Craft Your Days Away - Distressing
Samuel Taylors - Distressing
Creative Card Friends - Old Fashioned/Antique
Thanks for all your well wishes and I am pleased to say I'm feeling much better now.
Before I go I would like to say 'hello' to Jenni, my newest follower.
That's it for now and if you like what you see, please leave a comment and then I can come visit you.
