The other card I made for my future son in law's sister

Hello Everyone
Thank you for visiting and welcome to Cornelia, thank you for popping in and your kind comments on my Bokeh attempt.

I was asked by my future son in law to do a card for his sister's birthday. As it was for a man to give I wasn't "allowed" to do anything "frilly!" My daughter suggested this style and use the colours red and black. I'd made a previous one to give to a friend's daughter. The one I made for her from me and husband is here 


Ingredients
8x8 card blank
Black card
White 250 gsm super smooth card which I printed all of the elements onto
Serif digikit - Digitangle (a freebie)
Sue Wilson's - 3D bow
Sue Wilson New York Collection - Herald Square

Off to craft now, I still haven't finished Husband's birthday card. It's all printed, just need to construct it - stick it together!

  1. Love the card-perfect for a man to give to someone. I'm just finishing the baby book I started as we've just heard that hubby's sister in law gave birth at 7.24am (USA time) so I can safely send this off to them now.

  2. Girlie enough for his sister, yet manly for it being from him. Just perfect. Hazel,x

  4. Perfect, clever you. Not girly for a man to give, change of colours and it could be quite girly or as manly as you want. I really like it.

  9. Hi Karen, love the zentangling (is that a word??!!) and the red and black are quite striking. As others have said just right for a man to give but girly enough with the colours, the bow and the twiddly border. Best wishes Jackie x

  10. Karen, I use a very old, one piece cardboard Template to make my shoes.
    I downloaded from a site years ago. When the one I am using gets shabby I just make a new one and carry on!!!
    It is a case of "cut it out, score, fold and stick it together.

    The background is fab.
    Best wishes.
