MEN!

I’ve been having a play with some of my lovely Papertrey Ink sets and have managed to get my Father’s Day cards done – without the usual “night before” rush!  Like a lot of crafters, I don’t look forward to masculine cards but these sets from PTI are fab.  The Koi and Sailboat images and sentiment are from Masculine Motifs and the background is done using the Woodgrain set with Versamark ink – I LOVE this set.  My dad keeps Koi carp and LOVES to spend his weekends going round garden centres looking at them.  As soon as I saw this set with the fish I though of him immediately. 

Right, I am enjoying a rare cup of tea before the riot of the morning routine so better get upstairs and awaken the Kracken!!!!

Hugs,
