The new challenge today is a nice easy one to welcome the new team members without too much pressure, and it is Anything Goes. We're sponsored by 2 fab companies, Robyn's Fetish and Stitchy Bear who have kindly supplied some digi images for the design team to showcase.
I've used a half fold card and made the image pop up from the base card so that it gives a bit of variety. I always struggle with cards for men, because it is my natural instinct to add bows, flowers and other cute and pink things. I seem to be at a loss to know what to put on a masculine card so decided to give it some shape. I then added a few buttons, but managed to sneak in some stickles on the sea, as I wanted the sea to shimmer. What do you think - still masculine !?!?
Card Recipe:
- Image - SS Hoppity from Robyn's Fetish
- Sentiment - One of my own but not yet a freebie as I think that it needs perfecting (the outer text is too small in my opinion)
- Papers - Summertime Designs
- Colouring mediums - Copics (woo hoo I've got some Copics!)
and Dovecraft Shimmer chalks for sky & sea shaddow. - Nesties - Labels 16 for the image, and Lacy Circle for the sentiment
- From my stash - Stickles, liquid pearls, Papermania buttons
I've been inspired by:
- Cupcake - Boy, oh Boy, oh Boy
- Creative Inspiration - Card for Dad
- Paperplay - Father's Day
- Fussy & Fancy - Man's cards
- Allsorts - A recipe for the boys
- Crazy 4 - Masculine Card
- Stamptacular Sunday - Dads or Grads
- Sentimental Sundays - Father's Day or Masculine
- A Spoon Full of Sugar - Splish Splash
