A Card for a Friend




Making cards for men can be tricky. If they have an obvious hobby or interest, that can give you a head start, but there are only so many cards you can make for the same person on the same subject! This card is for a friend's husband. I like the fact that it is quite masculine, but is softened by the ribbons which tie it closed, rather than just being decorative.


The papers are all from my long-held stash. The embossing plate is QuicKutz and the scalloped punch is Woodware. The word 'Friend' is stamped using Versa Fine onto vellum and attached over the ribbon to finish the card.


I would like to enter this into the Stamps R Us challenge, this week entitled 'Friendship'.

This is a wonderful "guy" card, they are hard to make, but you did a great job. Thanks for joining us at Stamps R Us.
