In the Garden




A gardening card for a man I hate men's cards and find them so difficult, I cut the image separating the wellington boots placing the right boot slightly over and in front of the left. We've been busy preparing firewood for next year 2015, cutting now means it has plenty of time to dry out, but we've 25 tons to get through, cut split and store in the wood shed. It'll probably take a few hours a day for several weeks.


Digi from Just Inklined
 Paper from Basic Grey Lots of small left over pieces to use up.

Oh this is a fab male card Meg… I love the way you've done the papers and the fab 3D'd image looks brilliant! Love the colours… they are perfect for garden themed card!
Hope the log cutting goes ok… sounds like a marathon task… but will be good once it's all done.
Have a lovely evening!
Hugs Sue xx
