Biggles

I've got another masculine card to share with you today, and it's another one using an aeronautical theme!

I've again cut out a square insert from the main backing papers, layered them on plain coloured card, and replaced them in the same place so the patterns match again, but with an insert panel.  It gives a bit of variation in the background without too much fuss, so I think it's quite good for a masculine card.

Biggles

Hi all,

I have absolutely no idea just how many days it is to Christmas and I keep thinking that I must get on with making some Christmas cards! How are you getting on with making yours?  Many of you have been visiting our Christmas shop, so I know there is lots of planning going on! Do send us some piccies of your creations, it’s always lovely to see what our customers make with the crafting goodies that they purchase! It might also inspire me to get on with making some more Christmas cards myself!

Well, on to today’s card which, for me, is…another birthday card! This time using a range of cute Molly blooms stamps: ‘Biggles’, ‘Chocs Away’ and Celebrate (text stamp). To match the vintage theme, I used Bo Bunny ‘C’est La Vie’ papers (surprisingly just right for a male card) but added my own modern twist!  

  

Here’s a close up of the images coloured with copic pens:
