Hi Folks
A bit of a late posting but I have had a busy couple of days. My eldest daughter moved out yesterday and went to live with her boyfriend. A big step for her but her boyfriend is so good to her and we know she will be happy. She is only around the corner from us so I will still get to see her regularly. So today has been spent doing some tidying and clearing up. And it's back to the dreaded work tomorrow.
I have been working on using up some of my old craft stash and replenishing my stock of cards. Today's share is a male card using up an old topper that I have had for a couple of years.
I mounted the sail boat topper onto dark blue coredinations and edged it with stickles. The background paper was in my paper stash box. It was all alone so not sure where I got it from or even how long I have had it. The postcard is a stamp from Papermania and a very recent purchase. Very useful for male cards. I stamped it onto white card and then used some distress ink to give it an aged look. The large blue seaboard sticker was in my stash and worked quite well with the image as did the twine and anchor charm. Although not intentional, I think it has a vintage feel about it with the postcard and seaboard sticker.
Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.
