I don't do crafting New Year Resolutions; my crafting is my relaxation and pleasure, not something to beat myself up over. However I've made this card to scratch an itch! I love my landscape stamps but don't get them out to play with as often as I'd like. I don't have as many masculine cards as I'd like and it's not often that I make something without one or another challenge in mind. This cards fits all of those: I used my Jenny Mayes Hobby Art stamps, the background and scene together make a card that is more masculine than not and this followed no particular challenge. The sentiment is a new Craftwork Cards one that was part of my Christmas present, the scene is watercoloured, the DP is from the Joanna Sheen CD Times Gone By and the card candy is also Craftwork Cards.
Of course now I've made it I've found a few challenges that it fits LOL!

A lovely card and it is especially useful to have one with that masculine 'feel'.

ReplyDeleteMan this makes me want to get some background and scene stamps, how lovely is this card! Thanks so much for telling me about Phindy's Challenge. I used to play over there but I dont have many of her images and so I stopped. I am really glad you can use any image now.

Fabulous card, and as I was reading I was trying to decide whether to tell you about a few challenges you could enter, but I see you found some ;) Great sentiment about crafting being for fun and relaxation and not something to stress over, so I say that if you want to make a card for no particular challenges and then enter it in some anyway, then you do it! :P
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to thank you for letting me know about the Phindy's Place challenge too, I've added it to my blog that lists craft challenges now as well :D
Fabulous card Anne, LOVIN your scene!!!! Happy New Year Sweetie!
