Man Cards...

I always forget to upload bits and bobs that I have made for Papercraft Inspirations, I made a card today though that was kinda based on a topper that I made for them a while ago. The toppers appeared in last month's mag and as the new issue is now out, I'm guessing that it is okay to show :)

and the card? Well it ties in nicely with the DCM little extra this week;

This week we have a recipe challenge for the Little Extra. There's an old rhyme that tells brides what they should wear on their wedding day to be sure of good luck, it goes:
Something Old
Something New
Something Borrowed
and Something Blue
This week we'd like you to incorporate these four things into your card -
It doesn't have to be a Wedding card, despite the verse - just as long as your card features each of those things on it.
Borrowed could be borrowed from another card, some ribbon from a chocolate box, a tiny piece "borrowed" from a child's hair ribbon, even a postage stamp from an old envelope, it could also be an item or technique borrowed from a different crafty sphere...And before you ask - whilst you're allowed to use a sewing machine to make your card - it CAN'T be your borrowed item - as that would be just TOO EASY and this is supposed to be a challenge, isn't it! hehehe

Something Old....... Buttons from a Charity Shop
Something New....... Fantastic new today digi papers
Something Borrowed.. Aha Kathy - I used HAND stitching as machine is banned...
Something Blue...... Colour of the paper.

The papers are from Kirsty Wiseman's most marvellous digi kit

You can download them via her blog.
and I made this card with a homemade skull and boney bits using Di Hickman's sketch;
