Sentimental Sundays–Masculine Projects

The new challenge at the Sentimental Sundays blog is “Masculine Projects”. Don’t forget to include a sentiment.

I used the challenge as an opportunity to make a birthday card for my Dad. It also gave me the perfect excuse to ink up one of my new Lili of the Valley stamps.

I hope you will join in the fun and link up your Masculine Project on the Sentimental Sundays blog. Stop by the blog to see the rest of the inspirations projects from the DT and to download the weekly free sentiment set from Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs.
