My name is Andrea, and I live in
Kialla, Victoria, Australia, with my husband Chris, and our three sons. I have always loved papercrafts, and especially handmade greeting cards. I hope you are inspired to create today!
All images, designs and words are copyright of Andrea Hayes, unless otherwise stated. Feel free to copy any design for your own personal use, but please do not use my designs to submit work for publication or contests.
I am going to make a list of what NOT to do's today, because I did them all! I usually start with the finished size of my card and work in to the centre so that I KNOW I have an envelope to fit it. I work things out measurement wise so I KNOW it will fit. I colour to match the paper, NOT change my mind half way through. Will I go on....no it's best to quit while I'm ahead, and realise that it was just 'one of those days'.
This is my card for 'Mojo Monday', and I started out with the intent of finishing in about 30min. It simply was not to be, and the card isn't even very exciting, but I hope the person it is for likes it.
I have used an old favourite from Stampin' Up!, The Back Nine, and I kept it because golf is always a good one to have. The paper is from last years catalogue I think, and the cardstock is also - True Thyme.
The image is stamped using Palette ink Burnt Umber, and then coloured with Copic markers. I used my circle Spellbinders for all the circles.
Pop on over to the Mojo blog becuase you will see some incredible cards there for this sketch challenge, and let me know if you join in, I would love to see your cards!
Back tomorrow, because I get to stamp tomorrow and enjoy it because it's my birthday present to me, and I just may share with you what I am receiving....
Happy stamping....!
WOW Andrea,

Take Care

A terrific card for a male, again beautifully made. The image appears to be one of looking through a camera lens. Lots of possibilities for fun with that. I'd love to own one of those stamps!

Don't be so hard on yourself Andrea - this is a great masculine card - the images are just perfect and it all matches beautifully!
Wish I'd bought this set when it was available - I'm always struggling for suitable images for males! Great job!
