Well, I thoroughly enjoyed my time off last week, although I didn't get any of the things done that I planned (mainly cleaning out my craft room)! I just don't know where to begin - there is so much stuff in there it scares me! I think the only way I could tackle it all is to actually empty the room and start again - but I think I might need more than a week!!
I have another DT piece to show you today for the new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz (another role that I have sadly neglected over the past couple of months)! This week Amy has chosen the theme
'SOMETHING
BEGINNING WITH T'
So I decided on 'Travel' and got busy with one of my new Tim Holtz paper pads - here's what I came up with ...
I love how this turned out! I wanted a real distressed look for my theme and got busy distressing all the edges of the papers with my scissors and inking them.
The background is a piece of kraft card which I passed through an embossing folder, inked the edges, then added some gold gilding wax to highlight the embossed areas.
I cut lots of different size pieces of paper and stamped out a little postcard, the map and the sentiment using an old Creative Expressions stamp set. I also added a couple of oddments of die-cuts that I had lying around.
So, why not come and join us with your own 'T' themed male card.
Hugz, Jan xx
Hi Jan this is a stunning card I love the distressed look. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your week off. Tidying the craft room will have to wait. Take care. Hugs Jackie
