Man About Town City Retreat Papers

I hope you managed to see at least one of the shows yesterday on Ideal World and Create & Craft featuring the fantastic new CD, "Man About Town", from Kraftyhands. Unfortunately, due to last minute re-scheduling, the shows were not on at the advertised times and channel.
If you did miss the shows you can still see inspirational samples from the talented DT in the Gallery at the Kraftyhands Webshop and on the Kraftyhands Blog. The CD is now available to purchase from the Kraftyhands Webshop along with papers, postcards and the die-cut Stepper card set.
I have the last of my current samples to show you today.


I layered an 8"x 8" card blank with pale blue Papermania Textured Card and matted with one of the fabulous City Retreat papers from the CD. I tucked brown ribbon across the top right corner before fixing. I mounted the gorgeous Top Topper image on a Creata die-cut and cut a mat for it freehand. I printed one of the Ribbon Threaders and threaded the brown ribbon through before attaching to the card. The sentiment is from a Gatefold Card set.


I printed one of the embellishments from a Gatefold Card set twice and stuck them back to back. I coated both sides with Craft Glaze and attached with jump rings to the corner ribbon.


The inside was created by layering another one of the beautiful City Retreat papers onto gold card and adding one of the sentiments.
I really hope you treat yourself to this CD, you won't be disappointed. Not only is it perfect for male cards, but the papers are wonderful enough to be used for so many other projects.
