Hello my friends..Happy Wednesday.
Today I have put together a masculine card for a friend who is recovering from hip surgery. He is a very "outdoorsy" kinda guy and so I hope he likes the Wetland stamps.
I used Crumb Cake for the card base and then threw in some Cajun Craze and a little Garden Green behind the pieces of Natural Ivory. Here we go...
I made the sun image with a circle punched out and laid it over the art piece. Using a dauber with Cajun Craze I lightly added the colour. Random images from the set are here and there and two pieces of Washi to add some pop. Then a little bit of linen thread layer under the the art piece ...so not to be too girly.
And the inside has a little bit of the same.....
And the sketch for this week...you'll see I turned it over...creative licence ??? I hope.
And to help with your shopping should you wish....
So onto the rest of the team...have fun and come back to visit again. We love to hear from you so please leave us a comment or two.

What a sweet card with the Wetlands!
Such a lovely thing to long for spring in the midst of winter.
Love the way you used the grass to pop the background.
Hugs,
Caro
