Welcome to March and a new Country View Challenge, hosted this month by Corrie who has chosen " Birthday card for men" as the theme. Yes those difficult cards to make... but, no fear ,the DT has plenty of ideas on the blog!
My first card is one for a young man, I'd call him a teenager but that time has passed!
I pulled out a masculine collection, Mr Handsome and the Young and Free, both by Craft O'Clock . I had planned to use stamps and/or stencils as well but the papers did the job all on their own.
I did, however, use a few dies to spice up the design, including the Birthday sentiments (Happy from the One Liners: Happy Die set and from Wonderful Words: Birthday Die, both from Papertrey ink.
From MFT Die-namics I used the Notebook Edge.
[I am looking at old stash a lot recently and feeling nostalgic about the supplies we could get from the US before it cost an arm and a leg to ship over the pond...]

The bright colours of the circles work really well with the silhouette image Christine, lovely to see you at Allsorts this week, many thanks.
ReplyDeleteI've given up buying from the States, not just the shipping but the uncertainty of added customs, last time I did I was stung for £26 even though they had marked it as a gift.
