Masculine card

Happy Thursday! I am still here! I decided to concentrate on cards for submissions for a while, so I don't have a lot to share at the moment. But I needed a card for my husband's uncle and made this last weekend:


I am not good at masculine cards, but this beautiful Hero Arts stamp set worked perfectly! Using the color layering technique is so much fun and easy and quick! You still have time to try it and enter this month's Hero Arts challenge! The 70 is made with Thickers. I just scored the lines with my Score-Pal for some dimension.

My Elderflowersirup is finished now - and oh so yummy! And even better, I made some Elderflower-Orange-Jelly, too and this is divine! I will share everything soon!

Have a beautiful day, thanks for still visiting me and for your sweet comments! I will catch up with you all soon!

Hugs,
Vanessa
