I have a huge stash of mount board and thought this was the perfect CS to use as it has the strength to last longer than normal CS. I cut out appertures in the mount board the right size for the photo's and then covered them with the DP from summertime designs Winter gifts.

The effect turned out quite good.

I have had enough of making lovey dovey cards and feminine flourishes for now so decided it was time I made some masculine cards. I always find these the most difficult to do so think i need to practice making some.
For this card I use the sketch from Mojo Monday. DP's: Cardmaking world downloads
Image: Magnolia Edwin coloured with whisper pens and water brush
Sentiment from a RAK that was sent to me last week and i think fit the card perfectly
