Hi girls, I am so pleased to have you visit my wee corner of Blogland. It's so warm here these last few days without any great spells of sunshine. I hope you are all enjoying good weather as well. Hopefully you will find something you like while you browse my blog.
I have made another card today that I will not be entering into any challenges. It's a slight departure from my usual girlie stuff as I thought I would have a go at a card for a man. I'll leave you to judge if it's a success or not.
I used a Hero Arts' Cling called "Bird in a Circle" and stamped it in gold with pink, green and brown highlights. I have mounted everything on gold card and the paper is Classic K Bailey Brown Paisley Flat Paper. The ribbon is from my stash.If you like this card I would love you to leave a comment. I love reading them. They are so encouraging. I always appreciate you taking the extra time to leave me a note.

Wow, absolutely fabulous Fiona. I went back through your past entries, as you know I'm behind on my commenting due to the graduations. I love all your work. You've made up for lost time that is for sure. This stamp is so beautiful. Such a gorgeous man card. It's hard to do those masculine ones when we love the girly ones so much.

Hi Auntie Fiona
ReplyDeleteI have had a good chuckle at todays award. I won't spoil the suspense for the other bloggers but I suspect uncle William wishes the "I don't visit craft shops " was true LOL Todays card was different from your usual but it works love the ribbon and the layout especcially the circle. Luv to you bothe Carol xx
Hello Fiona,
ReplyDeleteI like this nice card for a man. The bird in the circle looks really good.
