How is your week going? Things are going well here. I do need to get outside and work in the garden. Oh, I guess I would rather make cards. LOL. I was surfing around the internet the other day and found this fun challenge theme--use masculine stamps on a feminine card. I thought that sounded like a good challenge idea. Soooo, I pulled out some stamps and gave it a try. I came up with these two cards:
Card One
Planes are certainly masculine. And, what is more feminine than pink and tulle??
