Male Card - Nature's Nest

I know I am supposed to be a scrapbooker but cards are really my thing at the moment. It helps to have people to make them for though.

Here's the card I made yesterday for a male friend who is turning 40 on the weekend. Male cards aren't easy to pull off, but I thought this cute Tortoise from the Nature's Nest stamp set made for a more male orientated card.

To create this Tortoise, I used watercolouring. If you would like to learn how to watercolour, contact me today for a in home workshop for you and your friends. It's sure to be a great day.

GREAT card, Tan. Love the colours you used; adore the texture of the Square Lattice embossing folder, and your watercolouring is fabulous.
