TOTALLY MALE

I played around with a new technique today and as I was working on this card I just wasn't sure I was going to like the result - but I was WRONG!!! I love it. I don't see that it looks like leather exactly (the technique name is FAUX LEATHER) but I definitely like the rugged, rough texture and the deep earthy colors I chose. I generally find masculine cards a challenge - but this one came out elegant yet totally male. It does take a little while to complete - tearing the small pieces of masking tape is time consuming - but the end result is worth it don't you think???

It's Saturday - so once you've finished the house work and errands you absolutely HAVE to do today - take the rest of the day off! Take time to play today - play with your children, your spouse, your pets, your friends - because while our creative play time is important AND necessary to our well-being, NOTHING is more important than the people you love and the relationships you build with them.
