Good morning to all my lovely friends and followers sorry I've not been around much this last week I was away for three days with my Golden Girl Friends visiting our friend who lives in the Wirral we all had a brilliant time. I'll post some photos later when I get them from my friend.
My card today is one I made a while ago and was one for the Craft Group ladies to make. We decided we rarely make men cards so this is a male card for a change. I used a great stamp that I've had for years of Whitby Abbey from Crafty Individuals. If you have never seen their stamps they do some amazing designs.

Hi Carole, a stunning stamp and love all the texture on the card, a great card for a man... hope you didn't get into too much mischief with your girl pals... have a wonderful week... Megan
ReplyDeleteFantastic card for your group to make! Love the stamp especially stamped in that colour with a little hint of painting too. Fab embellishments to use for a masculine card and great recycling of the J.L packaging :).
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased to hear you had a wonderful time with the Golden Girls on the Wirral. Can't wait to see photos of what you got up to. Have a great week Carole. Debra x
