Hand drawn cactus

Good morning, friends,  followers and fellow bloggers, I hope you are all well and the weather is being kind to you.  I have had a very busy few days, starting with having my 10 year old grandaughter stay with me at the weekend. She's like a little tornado but we had fun, crafting,  horse riding and cycling to our local coastal park. Yesterday was housework, dog walking 8 dogs and meeting a friend to hand back her dog who we'd been looking after for 4 plus weeks.
So today's card is one that I have made for a floral challenge over on Docrafts. The task was to make a feminine and masculine card and seeing as all my floral images etc. are very feminine, I decided to draw my own. This had another value to it as it encouraged my grandaughter to have a go at drawing too and she produced a beautiful drawing of my artificial flower arrangement, which unfortunately she took home 😔.

I scanned and printed my drawing,  as I didn't want to use the original and then mounted onto black card.
I then used a page from an old book purchased for 10p at a second hand book shop and inked the edges with black ink.
Newsprint Card Candi was added to 2 corners and Washi tape added to the top.

I do hope you like this card and it inspires you to make a masculine floral card. If you would like a copy of my drawing,  then please email me.
Hugs and best wishes.

Hello

Good evening, friends, fellow bloggers and followers,  I loved the free gift from C&C so much that I just had to use it for the Floral Challenge over on Docrafts.  I can't remember where the backing paper came from but I was so pleased that it matched the  colours in the image and the  Card Candi perfectly.  The ribbon and sentiment were from my stash.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look and any comments you wish to leave are always appreciated.

Floral Challenge Card

Today's card is one I made for the Floral Challenge on Docrafts. The card had to feature flowers plus an insect other than a butterfly, so I chose a ladybird which is my second favourite insect. The flowers and ladybird are Quilled and the stems and leaves diecut.  Tha black card blank is an A5 card folded in half.
