CFC#54- Man, Its Casual Friday!!

It's time again for a new challenge over at CASual Fridays and with Fathers day approaching, this week we want to see your cards for the men in your life....




Our fab sponsor is Gina K Designs who have just released a new collection of papers called CASual Fridays... what a great name!!!
The Girl Fridays have each been given a paper pack to play with, they are a set of lovely faux textures and patterns, just ideal for making cards for guys so....
we want to see your masculine cards using Designer paper.

I decided to use one of the plaids in the pack to make a comfy pair of slippers...in fact I'm pretty sure my dad had a pair like them!!


eeek....... I just love to make objects in miniature from paper and card! Of course to go with a pair of slippers you need a newspaper so I used the Hero Arts Newsprint bkgd on some white tissue and folded it to make a newspaper and again for a background strip :0).

For the slippers I used thick chipboard to make a round ended rectangle which I used as a template for the top, sole and insole of the slipper, I cut the patterned piece a little larger so it could be shaped around the chipboard to give some dimension and then made them up pretty much the same as real slippers would be!!



So it's time to get crafty and join us in the gallery with your masculine cards, check out the awesome inspiration from the other Girl Fridays whilst you're there and the super prize from Gina K designs as well :0)

See you there!
