G'day crafty peeps and welcome to my bloggy space. Lovely to have you visit.
Here I am with another one of my blokes cards. Think I've mentioned once or twice (or maybe more times! LOL!!) that I have more male friends and rellies than female, so I do have to make quite a few of these. I don't mind though .. I quite enjoy making them.
Have been inspired again by Lizzy Hill to do some stash busting, so the papers are a mix from different collections by Kaisercraft although the number strip is from Prima.
Distressed the edges and did some inking with Ground Espresso Distress Inks. 
Added a shaped paper clip ..
The 'Happy Birthday' chippie is from 2 Crafty Chipboard (yep! from my stash!). It was randomly coloured with Bronze VersaColor.
Pockets on the inside as usual.
Done!! .. and my stash is a little smaller .. LOL!!
Thank you for dropping in for a visit and hoping I have given a little inspiration.
Enjoy the rest of your day!!
Take care and God Bless.
Gorgeous! Stash busting is pretty cool & looking pretty jolly good here!! I really like that woodish paper in there....& the little clip! I noticed that first!!! NICE touch:):)
ReplyDeleteGotta love that stash busting Margy - it feels so good! And look at the results, no one would know you've used older papers; they look right up to the minute with your attention to details, layering and distressing. Like you, I've got lots of blokes to make cards for and it's always inspiring to come here with a cuppa and drool over the latest from Chez Margy! Thanks for the inspiration :D

ReplyDeleteGood on you for stash busting :D I keep saying I am going to do the same and today I did. I have so much paper and I don't know what I was thinking when I got some of it :D :P Another fabulous masculine card Marg. Love the colours and the grungy feel of this one. Lovely.
