One for the Guys

Less is More have a great One Layer challenge this week..... a masculine card, two tricky genres rolled into one!! A great chance to use some unloved stamps from There She Goes, a stamp company that sadly no longer exists :( This guy comes with a space on his t-shirt and a choice of fun phrases for you to insert.... I think this one is my favourite and perfect for a tongue in cheek card for a guy :)

I'll also pop him into Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge this week too, the theme is Furry Friends.

I stamped and masked him so I could blend a background of blue and green before colouring him with Prismacolour pencils and Gamsol.

 Hmmmm.... I'm going to have to be careful who this one gets sent to !! *wink*

Thanks for stopping by :)

A Rockin' Geek

I do love the new Geek Love set from Avery Elle and designed by the talented JJ Bolton, it's a brilliant set for lots of occasions and perfect for guys cards too...

This  stamp set also reminds me of the dress up dolls I used to play with when I was quite young... remember the fold over tabs that held the different outfits on?? I remember getting frustrated when layering up lots of accessories and waiting to see which one tipped the balance and shed the lot from the cardbord doll!!!

Anyhow back to this little guy, I used the small stamp that makes a bun on the little girl to make a pair of headphones for him.... now he looks uber cool and seems to be in the zone listening to his music :)

I just sketched in the headband piece and gave them a trendy colour to match his top. The handrawn city scape from Avery Elle's 'Super' stamp set is a perfect backdrop for him ... another guys card for my stash :)
There are a couple of Masculine themed card challenges I can pop this into too... Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge and The Paper Players

Dotty Daisies

It's been half term holidays here in the UK so I'm only just getting round to blogging my DT card for Make the Day Special Stamp Store. I went all dotty with my Promarkers on this daisy from Paper Smooches Twiggy Florets stamp set...

Another new technique for me and the hardest part was the white petals!! I have to say how different the Paper Smooches stamps look when you take the black outline away :) The dottiness of the background was made with the Tim Holtz Spritzer tool.... that would've been soul destroying hand dotting that!!!

This one is going to join my stash when an inspirational nudge is needed.... I think I'm going to need one of those to get James back to school next week and it'll take more than a card to do that *sigh*

I'll pop this in over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge which is Anything Goes this week
