reading is medicine for the soul

for week two of the cheerful stamp pad challenge "cards for men" i've created a card featuring products from our sponsor sentimental susan at stitchy bear digital outlet and from dezinaworld.


parts of this card were created digitally.  i started with the vintage image from dezinaworld and added the sentiment and stack of books on a white background, both from sentimental susan. i also added the monocle and compass (dezinaworld) digitally.  after printing my little digital collage, i added it to cardstock covered with designer paper.  to that i added a fleur de lis brad by alphastamps and the phrase "noteworthy" which i found in my stash.  all elements were distressed with "old paper" distress ink.

one more week to link up a masculine card.
love to all.

I really loved this card Michele when I saw it over in the Unruly Group. I am just letting you know that I will be sharing it with our readers as part of the August Community Update! :)
