Here is my DT card for Challenge 17 on Cards For Men Challenge Blog.

 

I have used a 6 x 6" Kraft card.

Backing paper by Papermania from Tilly Daydream range.

XCut Dies Hexagon

The digi stamp is ' Going Fishing 6605'

 

 

 

The funny verse typed on computer and printed.

 

The fish had been backed onto card and cut out, then

held in place with Tim Holtz idea-ology memo pins.

 

The image has been coloured using water colour pencils.

 

 

Farming Cards

A selection of farming cards.

 

I have had these toppers for a long time and

finally have got round to using them.

 

This first card the topper was cut into each parts

and embossed with a branch folder.

Raffia has been wound around the card face,

three metal brads and a sentiment to finish.

 

 

 

This card has a vintage backing paper, and the topper

put on at a jaunty angle prior to using two embossing

folders one across the top 'birds on a wire' and one down

the left hand side 'Grasses'. Raffia again wound around

and card candi used rather than brads.

 

 



This card is simply toppers mat and layered with

grass backing papers.  Twine and raffia wrapped

around and metal brads.

 

 

On this card the branch embossing folder has

been used and various backing papers from my

stash.  Raffia, crystal bling and a sentiment to finish.
