Gosh what worse combination can there be..... no mojo and having to make a dreaded MAN card, eeeeeekkk!!!!
I spent one evening colouring the image and didn't like it so left the room, lol. I returned the following evening and tried to do the best I could with it as I need to get my act together and make a card for my brother-in-law's birthday. No glitter, yikes, that was hard but it was for a Man, plus I had dithered so long that I literally had to put it in the envelope and post, so no time for drying......
I have used the new Edwin out of the stamp club and stamped the present section onto blue patterned cardstock and paper pieced it onto the image. I have also finally used my Marianne Design Creatables doily, not sure if it's manly but oh well, there are some things a girls just gott do.
Materials Used:-
Magnolia Image
Shabby Chic Paper by Tim Holtz and some Daisy D's freebie paper from Scrapbook Magazine
Marianne Design Creatables Doily Die
Nestie Die with a craftwork cards sentiment
Walnut stain distress ink
Buttons, thrread, tape measure ribbon from stash

This is gorgeous Tracy!! Fab design and colouring! Juliexx
This is a great mans card and the circle 'doily' looks very similiar to a life belt to me. In fact I thought that was what it was meant to be before I actually read the post. A bit of red on there and you have the perfect man overboard card.
I will have to get one. Lots of men in my life.
