Hello peeps,
Oh my goodness guess who's an air head & forgot what day & week it was! That's what happens when I try & be organised & make DT cards a few days in advance it throws me right out of my little routine, there I was happily doing a little blog hopping & I saw one of my teamies DT cards on their blog & realised it's my teams week to play & I hadn't even thought about starting my post, oops!
Without any further waffle even though you probably already know long before I realised lol, today is new challenge day at
& this week our challenge is
My DT card is another birthday card I made for my baby boy so once again a severe lack of flowers, man cards are so not my favourites, they need some pretties lol.
Apologies the piccy's aren't the best, I don't have Photoshop & it was one of those miserable rainy & dark days when I took this and I wish I'd used my Copics instead of DI's.
Ingredients -
Image & Sentiment - Cardmad Fairy (thanks Jenni xx), Small Stars corner - Magnolia
Medium - Distressed Inks
Papers - GCD Studio
Buttons, Ribbon & Charms from stash
Tools - MS Cherished PATP, Music Notes - Marianne Creatable & My Favourite Things, Magnolia Doo Hickey Swirls
I'll pop back later & link products if I can stay awake, if not I'll link up tomorrow

Fabulous job on your card!!!
ReplyDeleteYour design is just wonderful!
Thanks for joining us at CTO!
I love this card, Mandy! I actually like the look of the DIs... it gives it a rather soft and kind of vintage look that I'm not sure would have been the same with Copics. I'm sure it still would have looked lovely though. I'm a huge fan of black and white with small pops of color.
ReplyDeleteThis card rocks! It's a perfect man card - I know my hubby sure liked it =) Thanks so much for joining in the Sisterhood of Crafters Birthday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous Mandy I so love the musical theme you have going on here, the guitar and other elements and design are terrific.
