Edwin in Miami

My last card for today. The more boys I make the better they are looking.  I feel they are more plain of a card because you cannot put all the girly embellishments on it.  Sometimes we just need to be plain and it works out better.


I love this DP 6x6 pad from American Crafts 'Shoreline'.  This pad goes so well with this collection of maggies.  I used Distressed Inks and markers on Edwin.  My palm trees are a die from Memory Box and the sun is a Spellbinders die.  The cool wave is Scrollworks from Tim Hotz.


The inside of the card is from the paper pad and I added the palm tree dies.


Hope you have a great week  ahead!

  5. Wow!!! Kelly this is fantastic, I love the bright summery colours you've used. The weather here in Scotland and dark, dreary and wet. This has cheered me up hon.
