Masculine Birthday....




Seldom ever can I say I just love a card for a guy...I'm of the opinion that because they don't just ooh and ahh over cards (or at least the guys in my life don't) that plain and simple is best for sure.   I ordered this SU set quite awhile back and recently have been using it some.   The colors are pear pizzazz and gray granite.  I used the little tool in the picture to break the stark contrast between the pens and the watercolor paper (a recent acquisition) so nice individual 8 1/2 by 11 inches.   I enjoy downloading lovely floral images from Power Poppy Designs.  I read that this paper would work well with my jet printer as long as I let it dry with markers etc.   The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches...maybe this will give you ideas! Thanks for visiting,   Kathy

  3. Hi Kathy,
    Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.....your card is amazing!

    To answer your question, I do live in Kent, about half way between Dover and London.....in a place called Rochester, which is mostly known for its links to Charles Dickens. I do hope you enjoyed your visit to this area......sending hugs and blessings xx

    1. We stopped in Rochester as part of the tour.....the river the old castle, the cathedral, the shops (left my sunglasses in a store getting a pepsi) Lovely place, we enjoyed Dover so much. We went on the hospital tunnel tour--amazing all of it!
