A Reel Great Guy

Hello!

With Father's Day approaching (okay I know I still have plenty of time, but I think I am in June on the old card making calendar!) I thought I would use the fantastic sketch at My Favorite Things Sketch #173 and whip one up!

 

I did rotate this one again, love doing that!  This card will also be entered into the Anything Goes Challenge at CMC . 

 

 



This is a Flourishes set, What A Catch, so perfect for several men in my life!  Has a lot of great masculine images and sentiments!  The Designer Paper is from K And Company, Sea Glass.  (you KNOW I love that name!)  I colored the images with Copic Markers with a touch of a few Sakura Glitter Pens.  A couple of adhesive pearls, also colored with the Copic Markers and the card is complete.

(and Barbara C if you're reading this, I have NOT forgotten about stamping and sending you this set!)

I'm cutting it close with the CMC Challenge, it's due in an hour and 14 minutes!  ;)

Happy Friday!  Thanks so much for stopping by.

What A Catch!

That is  how we feel about our Son-In-Law to be!!!  Tim's birthday is next month so I thought I would get a head start on creating his card.  I don't think the man has ever been fishing a day in his life, so it will be  interesting to see his reaction to it.  I will go on record with, I LOVE IT!!!  :)

This will be entered into the Flourishes Challenge # 259, A Lotta Polka Dots. 

 

I used the ever so manly stamp set, What A Catch, available from Flourishes.  Even with orange and blue I still think it looks masculine enough.  Colored with Copic Markers, and the addition of LOTS of Stickles, this really shines and sparkles in real life.  The Polka Dot Designer Papers are from My Mind's Eye, Stella & Rose, Mabel Papers.  Spellbinders Classic and Scalloped Oval dies, orange Baker's Twine, some Burlap-ish fabric treatment and 4 brads to complete the card. 

 

Maybe I will get Tim a fishing rod for his birthday, as they just bought a house and it is on a Pond.  Hmmmm, may be a great idea!

 

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you doing so.

Red Hot Glitter Heart

Think the title sums up this card and the 2 Challenges I chose for it!  Flourishes #257, Red & Love and the Mod Squad Valentine Challenge, to use a heart and glitter.  Love when Challenges align!  :)

 

The Designer Papers are from My Mind's Eye, Kiss & Tell.  Using the Spellbinders Hearts dies I layered 4 hearts together and then topped it off with a ton of Garnet Glitter by Martha Stewart, her stuff is the glitteriest!  It reminds me of one of those little heart shaped boxes of chocolates.  Mmmmm.  The beautiful rose is from the Flourishes set, Roses Are Red.  I chose the smaller image from this set. The sentiment is from What A Catch.  A scattering of red adhesive pearls and a wee bit of ribbon to complete the look.

 

One week before Valentine's, cards are made, thankfully, just need to pop them in the mail.

 

Thanks for popping in.

 

Enjoy~~
