The title of my post today is very appropriate as we have had non stop rain all day and its cold too, hard to believe we are nearly through May. Our lawn is starting to look like a hay meadow as its just too wet to cut and although I have got the plants bought haven't been able to plant out summer bedding.
The card today is a Woodware collage stamp stamped onto an inky background made by dabbing the piece of card into various distress inks pressed onto a glass mat and sprayed with water, one of my favourite ways of doing backgrounds, never quite know what am going to end up with, the background mat is a done through a wave stencil with the same colour inks.Butterfly is 3d'd and Compass stamped and fussy cut. I'm entering this into Cardz4guyz challenge - make your own background and The Male Room challenge - Water/Beach
Well that's a lot of blue water and sky, surely manly and fabulous layout. Thank you for playing at the Male Room Challenges

ReplyDeleteIf it keeps raining like it has been doing Joan, I'll be starting to think about building an Ark! I managed to get my grass and hedges cut yesterday morning and I was just on the last bit when it started to rain again, then it carried on for the rest of the day. Your card is lovely and a perfect masculine card. I can see that you love your Woodware stamps and I like what you make with them. Wishing you a sunny weekend xx
ReplyDeleteA fabulous card Joan, the background is perfect with the image.
ReplyDeleteCold and wet here too, just wish summer would arrive.

Don't know what's happened with the weather Joan, its still dank and miserable here and more rain forecast. Your inky background works really well with the collage stamp, TFS at Cardz4Guyz. :)
