Whitby Abbey

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.

  11. Fantastic 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 :).
    I'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
