Simply Stampin Challenge 12

By
Today's card is inspired by the challenge over on Simply Stampin - the theme is 'You Got Male'
Now I'm finding male cards a little easier since I acquired the French Foliage set from Stampin' Up - it has a lovely little script stamp and an ink splat which can make some great grungy images - take a look
I have teamed this set up with some Night of Navy and Very Vanilla card stock. I used Night of Navy, Creamy Caramel and Baja Breeze inks.
Another short post today folks as I am about to dash out the door to a committee meeting and then it's a mad dash to Birmingham Airport to fetch my husband - hopefully no delays. I can see it's going to be a late one tonight - see you tomorrow if I can manage to wake up!! - Jacqueline xx.

    A really lovely card Jacqueline and love the colour combination along with the leaves which are great for men's cards.
    Hugs, Fliss xx

    Oh yum! I am wild about this set and you've made some terrific cards with it. This one is no exception and I love the colours. (My card scheduled for Thurs uses this set in blue and brown too - great minds think alike!) Good luck at the airport...

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
