Origami shirt

Good evening crafters,

I hope you are all well.  Tonight i want to share with you a card i made for one of my Paper Lane DT projects using the DCWV Collage Musings stack pack. When i saw this 'measuring tape' paper i knew i had to make a masculine card with it.  The origami shirt was made using paper from the same stack pack.  I made this card into a Birthday card but it could just as easily be a Father's Day card.

And a close up:

Supplies:

Paper: DCWV Collage Musings stack pack, brown card stock and cream card base

Inks: Tim Holtz (Walnut stain) distress ink

Sentiment: Stampin UP! birthday wishes

Tools: Close to my Heart distressing tool

Adhesives: glue stick, double sided tape and dimensionals

Brads & large paper clip

Thank you all for visiting.

I love Edwin!

Hello all, the weekend is almost over and the days are getting warmer, 27 degrees today yipee! Boy, the weekends go so quick though, don't they? Anyway, i must say that i absolutely love my new Tilda and Edwin stamps and couldn't wait to get my first Edwin inked up so here he is. I was actually making a Tilda card, stamped her, coloured her then made a hash of cutting her out so she went in the bin which meant it was time for Edwin to make an appearance!

I would love to enter my card into the following challenges:
