I've been away from blog land for far too long - I promise I have been creating just not sharing ... but I am here to make amends!
I'm taking part in a monthly blog hop with friends, showing what is often thought of as a difficult thing to create - something for the boys and men in our lives.
Olivia asked for an 18th card for one of her friends (this time I had over a week's notice which is good - last time I had about an hour!). I was inspired by a swap from Convention with the bandana technique. It was a bit fiddly and I kind of went with the artistic approach to the white gel pen outlines, but I really like the end result.
I've used Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight and Marina Mist with the Extreme Elements stamp set used in Basic Black. I just can't create a card without ribbon - so this time I used Bakers Twine - but thinking that some thin black ribbon would have been good too.
Off you hop now to visit Di Dunk - she is sure to have created a whole heap of lovely things.
Pop back soon - I've plenty lined up for you to make up for my absence.
