Doing What You Like

Hi Bloggers.

Hope you're all ready for Christmas and not having to brave the shops today. I've been having a clear out in my craft room and there's lots of good stuff that I just don't use so I've popped them on ebay - you can have a  look here. Items include some Martha Stewart punches, some Sizzix dies and a Cuttlebug Machine plus some other stuff.

A manly card to share today -

The background is a piece of Foundations Argyle Paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Sincere Sentiments Stamp Set on to some Milk Card using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28. I cut the next size up out of Black Card.

I cut 2 x border backers out of Milk Card using the Spellbinders Diamond Strips & Accents CFT die set. I cut 2 x border CFT out of Black Card using the same die set. I folded & tucked them ans glued them to the backers.

I tied a gi-normous bow out of Black/Ivory Striped Grosgrain. I assembled the card as shown adding a 5mm Black Pearl in each corner ans some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

A fairly simple, quick card for a guy or change the colours and it could be for a lady.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
