I made this birthday card for a special friend of mine that I can count on for projects my husband can't get to. When those ideas come up, then we laugh and say we need to call "THE MAN" . . . he gets a kick out of it as much as we do! I found some gear paper that I cut the strips off to add to the top and bottom of this card, to add a little pizzazz, since I had nothing with tools on it. In the end, I think it came out alright and Dusty was tickled with it. The large circles are diecuts and the smaller ones are done with paper punches.
I would like to enter these challenges:
Art Impressions - for the fellas
Aud Sentiments - bingo (rubber stamp, patterned paper, paper punch) + sentiment
Clear It Out - AG/your choice (diecut)
Creative Inspirations - for a friend
Cute as a Button - for the boys
Eureka Stamps - special occasion
Inky Impressions - for a man
Loves Rubberstamps - AG
Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge - AG
Pile It On - focus on coloring
Sweet Stampin' - special male
The Paper Girls - masculine
Hehe, that's so fun! He does look so close to a quick draw. Super fun card. So perfect for our masculine challenge. Thanks so much for joining in the fun with our 'Father's Day/Special Man' challenge at Sweet Stampin' this week. We're so glad you did. Hugs, Wends x Sweet Stampin' DT

ReplyDeleteWhat a great sentiment Lillian - especially considering what you call your friend! Love the gear paper strips you found - adds to the male-ness of your card - LOL! I also like the double matting you did - nicely done and is a great feature in your design. Delighted you are sharing your project and creativity with us at Aud Sentiments!
