Papertake Weekly card


This week's Papertake challenge is to make a masculine card. I have made this card for my Dad - the girls are going to give it to their Grandad.

I have used Edwin and Rufus (who is now a dalmation like our family dogs!) and matted him onto green cardstock. I have used K&Co and DCWV backing papers and some star and square gems by papermania to finish it off. Its a bit blingy for a man - but what little girls like!!





This is my gorgeous baby boy - he is 13 now and we have had him since the day he was born. He's not so good now with chronic arthritis so he doesn't walk well and often falls down- but he is still gorgeous.
