Hi Everyone
A quick post from me today.
Busy getting ready for the fayre at the weekend and have a check up at the dentist tonight so need to get some food into the oven so it is ready for our return. I only go to the dentist twice a year .. . so how come it always seems to be time to go again?!?!? How does that work?!?!?
Anyway, here is my share for today.
This is a card my youngest son requested for one of his "band mates".
I showed it him as a work in progress yesterday and gained his approval so I finished it off this morning.
Quite a few people say that they struggle with male cards. I don't struggle with the actual cards .. .. .. .. the struggle for me is trying to fit the heart onto them without making the card look "girly". Not too difficult on this one though as both my son and his mate love their music.
This used:
Image and lower banner: Inkadinkado "98693" Rock Star
Sentiment: Computer Generated
Backing Papers: Plain card distressed with "Tea Die" Distress Ink Pad
Music paper: From the scrap box also distressed with "Tea Die!
Hot Fix Studs
Cord from the stash box
So that is my share for today. I hope you have all had a good Monday.
I'll try not to say too much about Wagner other than I wonder what he thinks when he watches the performances back again!! I wonder if he sees and hears something completely different to what most of us do? LOL!!!
Right back to it for me!!!
Love

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about that check up coming round with alarming speed, Jules, hope you get on ok.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card, your Son will love it. I love the way you managed to get your heart into it.
Those origami trees where one of the first things I made when I first started paper crafting. My MIL showed me how to make them and I think I made them for my cards that year but in a very simple layout, they'd probably look awful now if I saw them again, luckily I didn't keep any copies!! Maybe it's time for another go!!

This is fab - great colours.
ReplyDeleteI have the same stamp set and done many cards, but never in these colours- wau stunning!
And great tutoring too.
My net is working at last;-))m

ReplyDeleteLove the inking.
I'm sure he must hear and see something totally different to any of us - but I want to know who the heck keeps voting him in!!!
I know what you mean about the dentist too - all I can say is 6 months goes so quickly.
Have a fab evening

Altogether its a brilliant card Jules. Love it. Annette x
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty card!! I love the vintage feel, and of course that you made it a male card!! These for me are hard just because like you said, you don't want to make it look girly! LOL! I think you did a wonderful job on it! I'm certain your son loves it!
