February Already....

Hi everyone,

 Another man's card for me this week, eeek!!!!  A cute House Mouse decoupage from Joanna Sheen House Mouse Project Book.  I gave mine more of a masculine feel by using a black card blank and keeping it quite plain.  I kept the cheesy backing paper to make the insert. Hope its not too pastel for a male?




This second simple little card (only 12cm square) was an experiment really, trying out an acetate window.  I used nestie marvellous squares dies to cut the aperture and one layer, a Nellie Snellen square layer with a little piece of glitter paper behind and a Craftwork Cards butterfly, embellished with a few red and clear gems.  I was quite pleased with the result and will be making more of a similar design soon I hope.



Hope you are all enjoying your weekend, its been a gloriously sunny, if rather cold, day here today.

 Thank you for looking!

    Two wonderful looking cards. I think the first one works really well as a male card. The acetate window on the second looks fabulous - well done
