After reading one of the sentiments in today's set, I decided to have a little fun with my first card and try to make a mountain tunnel. It may or may not have worked -- you be the judge! The "tunnel" was made using Petite Ovals nesties, and the trees are from another MFP set, A Walk in the Woods.Daffodil Greetings Featured April 18

My second card is definitely a guy card. I braided six pieces of hemp together to form the "rope" ribbon and attached it to the card using an antique-look brad. The DP is from Basic Grey Oxford paper pad, which has lots of guy prints. The birthday sentiment is also from another MFP set, North American Woods.
