Beware - Man At Work

I made this card because I'm booked to have a table at a country fair in a couple of weeks so I'm stocking up with cards, hoping for some sales. The large square card blank is by Craft UK. The backing paper is from a free site (freecraftdownloads) because I was stuck for a suitable paper and a friend pointed me in the right direction. The backing paper was matted on to orange card and navy card. The orange card is from Payper Box and the navy from Papermill. The strip of sticky tape came as a freebie in a craft magazine and as it was a tape measusre it fitted this theme very well. The stamped image is from the Flippin' Men range and was stamped with Memento ink before being coloured with my Promarkers. I cut it and then matted on to the same two colours of card. I used two more of the stamps that came on the same stamp plate - the sentiment and the row of tools. I mounted the sentiment on orange card and the tools on to the navy. I set them both at a jaunty angle!

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments. Over the past few days I've had some lovely comments and they have really cheered me up at a miserable time of my life. Thank you all.

Gardener's World

This is my Gardener's World card with a Flippin' Men stamp that I bought ages ago. I had forgotten about it until I saw Wendy's card, yesterday, on her blog and that reminded me so I dug it out. Thanks Wendy!

I used an ivory coloured large square card from Craft UK, via Joanna Sheen's site. The glittered backing paper is from a First Edition pad called Hideaway, and it's matted on to dark green card from Ross Paper. I cut some Spellbinders leaves in the dark green card and placed them down the right side. I added some dark green buttons along the bottom, they were from Create and Craft. I stamped the image with Memento black ink and coloured him with my Promarkers before matting on to more dark green card. I nearly forgot to say that I used my Distress Ink in Forest Moss around the edges of the image.
