It's my DH's birthday on Wednesday so I had to make him a card. He would have known if I gave him last years card (cos I did that last year!)
It often takes me a while to get motivated at the beginning of the year. This year was tougher than expected...............due to a stressful time last year. I thought I might have to buy him a card..... shock, horror!
until I remembered....
Kristy and Faye sent me some of farflungcraft's new line of scrapbook papers to play with a few weeks ago:) I'm not a scrapper by any stretch of the imagination so I expected to have problems when I came to use them. Doncha love a challenge?
So today, I looked through the papers and the Bamboo "Batik Prints" really shouted *use me*. The colours are very good for male cards. So I stamped *self portrait* (stampington) onto vellum using black ink, attached it to a small panel of bamboo paper, layered it onto bronze pearlescent card, then attached the panel to a larger piece of the reverse side of the same scrap paper...pretty simple.....I love quick and easy cards.
Bet those papers will make wonderful Valentine cards too:)
