My uncle ( I only have one....) has a birthday this month so I had to come up with a masculine card......so not my thing. I had a cute little image Wee Henry Goes Fishing which was a freebie from Hambo a while back. Colored him with Prisma and Gamsol (which I am not very good at) ....set the picture with MS photo corners (punch) and added an enlarged cattail for dimension. The sentiment is a KI Memories stamp. Wrapped some hemp around a piece of cardstock trimmed with wavy scissors and added a button. Paper is fish and barnwood I picked up at Hobby Lobby this week-end. This works for My Sheri Crafts card - masculine challenge and Paper Playtime - Water.
My first attempt at the tri-shutter card, but it won't be my last. How fun........and a great way to use scraps! I used new paper this time, though. I had a set of tool "stuff" from Oriental trading that I used. Too fun!
Needing teen boy birthday cards....hmmmm.....used Paper Doll Dress Up for the map and Indie Art for the skull. Discovered that cute little pirate hat on Create A Critter. Lots of distressing and a map printed background. Trimmed with ribbon and some stickers for the sentiment. This is for My Pink Stampers NSD #3 - Outside the Box.
My dad's birthday is on Mother's Day...so that means I've got to get busy on the card making!!! There was a great sketch on the RAQ challenge on the Cricut board last week....I knew it would be perfect for Dad's card. But what to put on it...... PolkaDoodle to the rescue. Their challenge this week is monochromatic. When I started searching through paper, I found a great monochromatic red argyle and it was all the inspiration I needed. The car (my dad LOVES cars) is from Every Day Paper Dolls, cut at 1 1/4", added some silver metallic foil for windows and silver dew drops. The stamp is from Hero Arts (a $1 set at Big Lots) and DAD is from Plantin Schoolbook. Used the argyle embossing folder for texture.
