The men/boys theme continues at
Make My Monday and this week they want to see animals or birds. I've chosen to use a bird postcard stamp from Crafty Individuals. Background paper has been overstamped with a harlequin stamp from Indigo Blu (not much actually shows now I realise) and the strip of paper down the side is a left over scrap of Papermania paper which happens to have part of a bird's wing on it. A Cuttlebug folder has been used on some matching kraft core card which was sanded and inked - bookplate is from a Sizzix die and this has been distressed and partially embossed to age it.
It has been raining steadily here since I got up this morning so what better than stay indoors and design a card. I've also just realised that this stamp has lain unused for many months so this will qualify the card for Judith's
Forgotten Friday challenge as well where we are encouraged to use items from the stash which are forgotten or neglected.
Fabulous card Val..love everything about it! The bookplate looks great! thank you for your continued support at MMM

I love this image from Crafty Individuals, the card is lovely. I really like the embossing folder you've used, and the stamping in the background matches perfectly.

ReplyDeleteThat little tag embellishment on the postcard is quite gorgeous & I love the way you used a harlequin stamp with the embossing folder for the backgrounds. Very effective indeed.
