Hello there! I’m back with a masculine card today, using stamps, dies & papers from Julie Hickey Designs. I picked up the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and the colours from Color Throwdown – by happy coincidence, the ‘all weathered’ papers designed by Hazel Eaton for Julie had the three colours in them!

I statred by trimming down a piece of the orange & brown wood paper (using the darker side) and attached it to an A6 card blank. I die cut ‘happy’ from the orange side of the paper, glued it to a white mount and attached that to the card front. I then stamped ‘birthday’ below it.

I then stamped the ‘stitched banner & sentiments’ set onto a piece of the green ‘all weathered’ paper and cut them out with the banner die. I selected three of them and glued them onto the card front, to pick up the elements of the sketch.

I then just added a few white Glossies to finish.

Thanks for dropping in. I’ve had a lovely day at a local craft market – so fab to be out in the sunshine looking at what other people create (and doing a spot of retail therapy as well!)
