Masculine "For You" -- Di's Digi Designs Challenge Blog

It's Saturday, and it's time for a new challenge at Di's Digi Designs Challenges.  For the next 2 weeks, the theme is "Make it Masculine."   Hmm.  I thought long and hard about this, and think I came up with the perfect digital image from the Di's Digi Stamps Store, and the perfect card for this challenge.  But first, a little background.

I have a friend.  He's now 98.  When he and his wife were newly retired, his wife volunteered in the nursing home where I worked.  Milt was a wonderful gardener.  He had the most beautiful flowers you've ever seen, including hollyhocks.  The other things he was incredible with were asparagus and raspberries.  I still miss all those things!  His wife, Eva, dies in her early 80's, and not long after that Milt moved across the state to be nearer to his children.  I started sending him a card every Monday morning, and still continue it to this day.  Little did I know how many years the tradition would continue, but he is one of my biggest fans.

The card I made for today's challenge is going to Milt.  It may not look real masculine, but I know he will love it.  He will the hedgehogs at the mailbox, and he'll adore the hollyhocks!

This card uses Posting Hedgehog Love, colored with Copic markers.

The designer papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  They are from the Spring Letters papers.
