Hi all
You know what it is like when someone asks you to make a card for a male? Well, my heart dropped, but I am always up for a Challenge, and I really did not like to say no this time, so off I went on my merry little way of struggle! I was also asked for this to be based around the hobby of a Gardener. Well, I looked through my images and stamps, and the only image that I could find that was anything like appropriate was a topper from Cardmaker's Delights with ONIONS as the feature. Blimey! How does one make a card using an Onions topper! lol Anyhow this is what I came up with.
The papers are a mixture from DCWV and Noor Designs UK ('Spring'). The die-cuts are Tim Holtz and Cheery Lynn. I could not resist adding the cheesecloth, and I found the little carrot buttons and the wooden leaves in my stash.
The edges are inked with Tim Holtz Distress ink and I have added Frantage. That actually transformed it in my view. Then I carried the design to the inside adding a pocket in which is slotted a Kraft Tag.
So, there we have it! At the same time, I made another male card alongside this one. I very rarely just make one card at a time! I will post the second card on Friday for you to see.
