I fancied making a man's card for this challenge using this lovely image from Elusive Images Edwardian plate. The stamp is embossed onto a piece of mountboard which has been painted with acrylics then mounted onto a piece of dp using a distress spot stamp (also EI).
I tried several background techniques which were not what I wanted and finally decided to type some of the words to Judy Garland's April showers song and sponge Mustard Seed at Walnut Stain over.
I have been lucky this week as my friend Wanda (Sunshine Crafter) is visiting and we are having alot of fun playing with inks and getting all very messed up!
Thanks for stopping by and all comments are more than welcome.
A fabulous male card Janet.xxx

Fabulous Janet, love the background and so appropriate for today as it has not stopped raining here all day. Thanks for sharing Love to you both xx
ReplyDeleteWow, Janet, what a gorgeous undertaking! I love your masculine card with the Edwardian image. Really a beautiful card. Your background technique is so creative and lovely. Thanks so much for joining in the challenge.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Janet. That EI themeplate is just about my favourite for mens cards and I love how you've used this particular image. The colours are great too.
ReplyDeleteTyping those song lyrics out and using them as background is inspired! Say hi to Wanda for me and have a great time you two.

Fantastic Janet. The image and spotty frame are fab and your 'designer' bp is a brilliant idea.
