Hints and Tips for Making Cards for  Big and Little Guyz

• Instead of flowers use leaves or buttons to embellish cards.
• Some masculine coloured ribbons can look good or use twine, string or threads for texture.
• Keep a box for scraps of masculine coloured off cut papers.
• Check out the sketch challenges in blogland these provide lots of inspiration on how to create  backgrounds.
• Use brads to embellish, colour with appropriate coloured alcohol pens, leave to dry overnight.
• Card Candy makes super embellishments, with a craft knife, indent a mark across to make it look like a screw.
• Black card for either matting or laying on the main body of the card helps the image to really pop.
