One For The Fellas!

Hello, and welcome!

It's time for another challenge at Card Crafter's Circle and this week you'll be doing yourself a favour if you join in with this one, because none of  us has enough cards for the males in our lives, do we?  

Yep, we're challenging you to make a card/project with 

MEN/BOYS 

in mind......easy-peasy, right?....hahaaaa!

You'll find some really good inspiration if you hop over to the challenge blog and see what the rest of the  Design Team have on offer....lots of manly goin's-on, I can tell you...lol......

Joining us this week are two sponsors ... the outrageously cute Di's Digi Downloads, who offers one winner a $10 store credit.  And we also have Stamp Art Design by Kathryne joining us again with sponsorship for you!  The winner's prize purse is their choice of 3 Milk Coffee images of their choice! Yummy! And our super sponsor also provides each of our Top 3 with an image of their choice too! Yay!

If you've been hangin' around here for any length of time, you know that I have more than me fair share of males, in my family.....yessir....and  love 'em all to bits.....but that's an awful lot of testosterone-filled cards to make....heehee....so I'm always on the ol' look-out for new inspiration!

Here's what I came up with.......

I used this lovely ikkle fella from Kathy at http://stampartdesignbykathryne.blogspot.co.uk/ and he and his teeny friend were a joy to colour up with my usual Promarkers.  I started with a cream base and layered on an embossed piece of kraft (love those buttons!), then cut two circles from some scraps from my paper mountain scraps........

Did a bit of doodle-doin' around the edge of the image.....love the look of surprise on the bear's face!

This big number is a clear sticker, backed onto a scrap of brown card and cut around........I put a length of stripy green ribbon down the front of the card, and added another length of peach grosgrain, over the top.......then die-cut a button, threaded up with brown cotton, and added a loop of the peach ribbon and a green felt die-cut flower.........the ribbons are from Crafty Ribbons......

I stamped a leaf onto brown paper, and added a stamped sunflower, cut out and coloured with the trusty PMs......I did the sentiment on my ikkle netbook and printed off onto Safmat, so it was a sticker.....love that Safmat.....but that was when I had a flippin' printer that works.....gggrrrr!

Hope you'll join us this week....you'll be glad you did!

hugs,
