Where on earth does the time go. Already into April, can't believe it. For the next 3 weeks the challenges over at Eclectic Ellapu are
ONE FOR THE BOYS
&/or
EASTER
For my part in the boys challenge I actually revamped a stamping of a train from another piece of art a long time ago so a little recycling here for me. I needed a card for a male colleague and he is into train watching - I call him''anorak'' to which he laughs. I didn't have a stamp of a man wearing an anorak so TH man stamp had to step in and help me out lol. I fussy cut round him and used foam pads to make him appear 3d.
Voila all done and dusted. Am relieved as men's items are extremely hard for me to deal with lol.
Anyway here are the pics and hope you like them.
