Masculine Card

 Morning and I have a birthday card made for our BIL.I have had the D,paper from CraftO'Clock glued onto the black cardstock then onto a 7"x5" white card for a few weeks but not happy with the effect,so trimmed it down to the D,paper,backed onto a larger piece of black cardstock then onto a larger size white card 6" x 8 and a half inches-looks a lot better!Found a little bag of the die-cut Tim Holtz figures at the bottom of a small box of die-cuts found whilst decluttering.Now I have never owned this die so someone must have sent me them in a swap years ago and no idea who or when! Anyway instead of using the black figure as a dropped shadow,the white was too stark,so used the white behind as a light effect,then I gold embossed the figure to match the paper-with an Art  script stamp from Carabelle.Then used a Tonic die for the sentiment using the same layers-happy with this one! Then son came in and said it looked more like a sympathy card!!!

Smash Your Stash Journal Page

 A week late but finally here is my Smash Your Stash for the journal page challenge with Vicki  at Stamped Smiles.Please check out her brilliant page.

The background was a pre made one from a couple of years ago which was made with if I remember rightly Gelatos.The heart was from a colouring book,coloured with coloured pencils and cut in half then almost glued back together.The half frames were from some papers I was sent and the love is all around circle stamp from Sweet Dixie and a bit of doodling round the heart.

We now have John in a bed downstairs so at least not stuck upstairs on his own all day,and next to a double window overlooking the garden -mind you alreadt told us it needs weeding !!!!!
