All browns...

Hello sweet bloggers,

First of all a very warm welcome to Therese - my latest follower. Thanks for following my little blog.

Here is a card I made following the sketch at Blogger's challenge

The card stock is black and I have used a textured kraft like card stock on it. The printed paper has been hand torn and sponged on the edges. The jute mesh, buttons and jute string are from my stash. Now this could be a masculine card, right?



Down below is the sketch at Blogger's challenge


I will also enter this card in:
http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/ - anything goes
http://simplycreatetoo.blogspot.com/ - simply create
http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.co.uk/ - use twine
http://stampedblessings.com/ - birthday

Wish you a pleasant week ahead.

Love,
Monica

I saw it on MIM. So nice that you make cards for charity. Nice card. Looks masculine but could be feminine.
