Garden Shed

Today is another masculine card, Father's Day coming up soon...

It's been a while since I used papers rather than make my own background, so for a change, I pulled some HOTP freebies, cut a few pieces and distressed them with scissors before layering in a carefree fashion.

To give the card maximum texture, I started with a textured card base and to my papers I added some Kraft Core'dination cardstock embossed (Woodgrain) and sanded.
The freebie pack came with die-cuts sheet of flowers and labels so I used a flower on the front and a label for the inside, stamped with the sentiment.
The image is the Garden Shed by Impression Obsession and I coloured it with alcohol markers.

Less fun than messing with paints but packs of papers like these take all the guesswork out of picking the right colour scheme.

Thanks for coming by,

I am entering the Craft Stamper, Polka Doodles and the Live & Love Crafts challenges.

    I love your phrase "carefree fashion" Christine, it fits the style of crafting perfectly, must remember that one. Super masculine card with nice textures as well.

    Hope you have a good Sunday.

    Papers for crafting are a must and this is a fabulous masculine card that you have made with them Christine. Lots of layering and collaging plus the flower is a great addition. Let the men find their feminine side ... lol.

    You certainly achieved "maximum texture," Christine, as well as downright great interest and detail! I really like your stamped image, as well. Good luck on this challenge!
