As I made some girlie cards on Saturday I thought it only fair I made some boys ones yesterday. Now I struggle with boys/mens cards due to not pretties to be added like sparkle or flowers but I had a delve into my old stash and found my box of card candy dots and whooped with joy!
I used images from Lili of the Valley Art pads (again old stash) with various 6x6 paper pads and cardstock.Jane (Carroll's Creations)http://www.blogger.com/profile/01088410039441137763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254310289807332074.post-52899889141957233002020-04-19T11:54:00.000+01:002020-04-19T16:54:59.279+01:00My crafty afternoon
So after receiving some new crafting goodies and being good and tidying my craftroom I decided to treat myself to a crafting afternoon yesterday.
I found some gorgeous free colouring pages from Hannah Lynn Art Designs and as I had some new pens from Crafter's Companion in the form of their TriBlend Markers I thought I'd start by colouring which I hadn't done for AGES!
