My Card
Click on image to enlarge
This is the second card for my nephew to choose from. I did a similar one last year but have changed the sentiments and the dies, although the layout is pretty much the same. The sentiments and the mountain stamp are from Our Daily Bread Designs "Keep Climbing" set. I love this set and use it a lot. The main sentiment is very apt because it is from the book "Kilimanjaro And Beyond" by Barry Finlay. I used SB Resplendent Rectangles and Radiant Rectangles to frame the main sentiment quote. I'm not too happy about the punched leaves in the bottom corner so I think I'll be taking them off and just popping a pearl in the corner. What do you think? The flower and leaf stamps at the top and bottom are Stampendous "Wildflower Sprigs." If this is the one he chooses I have found a few more quotes about climbing, so I thought he could then choose one to put inside the card.
Now I just have to rack my brains to come up with one more card. Considering making male cards is not my favourite thing I don't think I've done too badly so far.
Well that's all from me today. I hope you all have a good day.
Love and hugs from Christine xx

OOH Christine your nephew is going to have a hard time choosing, another super card! Can't think of anything better than a wander in the Cotswolds, I feel so lucky to have this beautiful part of England on our doorstep - so many lovely towns and villages! Our nearest is Tetbury so we quite often end up there on a Saturday morning for a wander and a coffee! Carole Z X

Hi Christine,
another of these lovely cards for your nephew to pick from. This is a great one as the recipient is going to be doing some climbing when he retires. Love the quotes too they are very apt. I like the leaves in the bottom corner and the colour is fab.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

That mountain scene is fabulous.
