Hello, and welcome!
Ooooooh........how long has it been since I made a male card, then?........Not too long, I know....I know......but this one is for Rhys, my nephew, who turns 12 in a couple of weeks.
Rhys is really into Ben-10, and all his adventures..........so, went searchin' on the webby netty thingy, and found a freebie colouring page.....love it when a plan comes together......oh heck......never thought I'd quote someone from the "A Team"........used to watch it when I was a kid......smirk! ~~~
Here's the result...............
All the DPs are from Hot off the Press, and I inked the edges of everything to death....lol......
Coloured up this cute ickle fella with Promarkers, cut him out, put him up on foam pads, added a brad to the pocket of his jeans.........Rhys has got a watch like Ben-10's, so I took the colours from that....ha!.....You can't see very well, in the photo, but I pricked holes all around the brown background, and around the green tag, too........
Added the tag with his age on....just in case he forgets how old he is.....lol........
Really liked these little elements......hmmm....did I put that green star upside down?.....it's a fallin' star....Haaaahaaa!
The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Craftwork Cards, stuck onto a Bazzil punched circle, and I added more of those cute brads........all done!
Like it?....Don't like it?.....Let me know......I know you want to.....ha!

He really looks like he is stepping inside the card - great effect A-M :o)
ReplyDeleteAnne-Marie, my boy loves Ben 10 too! Really good idea and I think the star is perfect(even falling) BTW, I think Kenny K has a boy that looks alot like Ben! Anyway, Happy Birthday to your boy! And thanks for joining us at Diva's by Design for our Birthday challenge!

ReplyDeleteAM, what a kidder you are saying you were watching the A-Team when a kid..... Had to pick myself up off floor, landed there as was laughing so hard! Even I admit to being a teenager when that show was on...
ReplyDeleteEnough silliness. You truly created an amazing card and I am sure Rhys will love it. After all you are the Queen of male cards!
This one is fantastic, love the way you've coloured Ben and the brad on his pocket looks fab, - my little granddaughter loves watching the show too. A great layout, love it....

Hehe I used to watch the A-Team when I was in high school, try to avoid counting the grey hairs when I look in the mirror! Great card for a Ben 10 lover, colours and patterns work beautfiully together.
ReplyDeleteRhys is really going to like this! I'm not even "into" Ben 10 and I do! Things I especially like about it are: the way Ben's shirt is colored, the brad on his pants, the way you incorporated Rhys' age into the card without making it look overdone, and the Happy Birthday stamp --- o.k, I just like it all.
ReplyDeleteI don't like it...... I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteCool card Anne Marie, bet it will be Rhys's fav birthdaycard
