Hi everyone, today I have one of the two swap cards I made for the Craftmad September swap (gallery here). We had to create two male cards with no blue. I have always liked shirt cards for male cards and came across some wonderful examples and tutorial by Deborah Wright I had to try.
I have used Stampin Up papers and card stock. Started with a white blank card from Blue Edge Crafts therefore my card was a smaller size than Deborah's A4 fold in half. I had fun adjusting the sizes, most of the time just eyeballing it and cutting shapes to what I thought worked.
Well I have been busy in the garden as I have some time at home. My gardens were so dry and down to bare earth....I am sure I missed a year of mulching. So I ordered 5m of mulch Tuesday and by Saturday arvo I had spread it amongst our five gardens. The sad thing is I am at the most 2m too short. The gardens look so much better and today we have had the tiniest bit of rain but hopefully enough to soak in to the mulch a little. Still cloudy, so fingers crossed there is more to come.
Thanks for visiting. :-)
I love your card Wendy -I might have to try this myself - good to know you are still finding a little time to craft .

Hope all is well with you and yours. I have been rather busy with life and settling in. Will send you an email soon.
Lots of love,

Very creative card! Love it! However, my husband wouldn't like it as much because blue is his favorite color! You had a big job mulching your garden. Pray you get some rain soon! :)
