Tartan greeting

Over at SophistiCat challenge 21 Tartan is on the menu. I bought the black/white tartan paper from a local discount shop but had no idea what I would put with it. I've used the lovely toadstool image from Stretch N' Bubbles and made a Fathers Day card.

Autumn Leaf

My first card of the week was for a male and it turned out OK so I'll try my luck at another one .A Spoonful of Sugar challenge 69 'Autumn ' . No cutie figures for me . A couple of die cut leaf shapes inked with black and gold.The word leaf is a rub on and the sentiment is printed on the computer .The tag was ready made from a magazine freebie .All the paper is from my stash.Greens,Gold,Brown and Orange that's just about as Autumn as it gets.

Travel

Spoonful of Sugar have a theme of travel this week, challenge 65. I feel as though I have cheated as all the bits 'n' bobs were ready made and I usually like to make my own tags etc. The background paper is notepaper from Office Works.The stickers are from Jenmark.I've inked the edge of the card to look worn.Cards for men seem a bit thin on the ground so I think this would be good.

Beaches

The theme this week from Cute Card Thursday is a beach theme. I've gone back to an old favourite of decoupage for this one. Not so much a white talcum powder beach but the rough sand dunes which are great for winter walks. I love this image I can almost feel the wind blowing through my hair.The image is from Monica's 3d sheets.
