Hello

Sharing a card today I made for an older gentlemen in our church that lives by himself. 
This is from a stamp set that came with a cardmaking magazine, it has great images for masculine cards. I colored him up with markers and added a strip that was embossed with a folder that also came with this set.  The background is from a bag from a shop we went to while on vacation, had to save it and finally using it :)


Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine - Autumn wonder stamp set, colored w/markers and embossing folder, inked with gathered twig and embossed
Spellbinders - Labels 37 die
Hot off the press - 130 tiny words and phrases sentiment sticker, colored w/markers
Paper bag background

I hope you are all staying well!

This is one terrific card. Perfect for a man! Of course, I love the owl, and that bg paper is perfect. Who would think to save bags with designs on them to use on card. Only us crafters.

This looks perfect for your elderly gentleman friend and I love it! Very warm and woodsy, just the way I like it. I hope your friend is doing okay. I think about the folks who are living alone. It's easier if you have a companion.
