For our carpenter!

BLOG CANDY HERE!

Here's a birthday card I made for our carpenter his birthday this year falls on Thanksgiving so I wanted a head start on doing his card before I get myself distracted from my other projects that I'm working on..  I'm so very happy that  our contractor and his worker did an amazing job on our new ceilings and dining room flooring...  It has that country flair to it, now I hinted to hubby that I want to change my decors, hummmm he said... LOL!
I downloaded the images from coloring pages.com to reflect what he loves doing.   I used Spectrum Noir and copic markers, papers from stash, sentiment /tag from My Creative Time, Spellbinders ovals, twine and  Cuttlebug embossing folder on a silver metallic paper I had on hand.




Thanks for always peeking in!
Enjoy your new crafty week~
