Fabulous

Another from the HOTP kit. Cards suitable for men are in short supply round here at the moment so this one fits the bill quite nicely. More muted tones this time, some more of those fabulous brads, button ones this time, some inking to give the message a distressed feel and some ripping and tearing to add interest to the layered papers.

BIG Brads are FUN!

I discovered an unused Hot Off the Press kit recently so I had to have a play with it didn't I! I LOVE these outsize brads, they're so large that you can use rub-ons to decorate them. I added a flower design to the one on this card and used a similar one in the centre of the card which has an eyelet brad for the middle of the flower. The overall design is very simple with a matted message in the centre and a ribbon border at the top but on the whole quite pretty and effective I think.
