Hiya! I'm sorry I've not been around much over the past few days. I'm going to partly blame the computer (it's fixed now but goes soooo slow it takes me 30 mins to comment on 3 cards!), I've also just got myself a new allotment (if you're interested in that sort of stuff, you might want to check out my new allotment blog....) so I've been down there while the sun's been shining. And then I finally got into my craft corner and I'd managed to misplace my mojo :-( So I have to say I'm not too pleased with this card but it needed to be done!
My first go at a twisted easel card - I like that part of it but then I followed a sketch at Cards for Men and really the image was too big for the layout....
All the images and sentiments are part of Clare Curd's It's a Man's World range.
A close up of the paper piecing.....
I used:
Images/sentiments - Clare Curd, It's a Man's World
Papers - Papermania Rich Greens
Promarkers
Gems from stash
Challenges:
CRAFT - paper piecing
Cards for Men - fab sketch
Simon Says Stamp - Happy Birthday
Creative Inspirations - Easel card (if I haven't missed the deadline!)
I'll be back in a bit with my card for Dream Valley's new challenge! Don't miss it!
Love 'n' hugs
