Male make

Hello, and welcome!

It can never be said that we at Twist of Faith are not up for a challenge......it's what our blog was born  for....hahaaa!

So, takin' the bull  by the horns, the rose by the thorns, the .....er.....er.....thingummy by the wotsits......we hereby challenge YOU to make........wait.......wait...........waaaiiiittttt.......a card for a 

MAN OR BOY

Okay.....come out from behind the sofa......it's not as bad as all that.....we'll be gentle......lol.....

 We are so very fortunate to welcome Melonheadz to our family of wonderful sponsors.....yaaaaaay!

Those of you who pop in to my blog often will know that I have to make a ton of male cards, every year, so I'm always glad to pinch be inspired by any male cards I come across, and I'm bettin' you are of the same mind.
In that case, you really should go and take a nosey at what my Design Team Sisters have come up with......treasure trove of inspiration, I kid you not!

I love this wonderfully appropriate scripture that our Boss Lady (Pauline) has shared with us.......please use it if you'd like, or any other scripture, poem, or encouraging sentiment.....that's our Twist of Faith.....

I used one of the many, many freebies that you'll find on Nikki's site.......

I can't look at these two cute fellas without smilin......happy little chaps, or what?

I used a cream card base and layered some K&Co. papers that I'd edged with a soft brown ink.......the "my hero" card strip was generated on my 'puter, printed, then inked......

I used my fabby Promarkers to colour up this proud twosome......even the fishies are smilin'....hahaaa!

I cut out the image with my Office Supplies Shapeability die, then chalked in the blue sky.......I'm thinkin' of getting the Hubster a pair of these dungarees, and in that colour....oh, yeah!  He'll look a picture on the canal bank in these........oh, I'm so tempted, heehee........

I had a deep rummage in the back of one of those drawers.....yep, you know the ones......and came up with this sweet rub-on sentiment.  The Hubster just loves to take one of our grandsons fishin'......they don't ever seem to bring anything home, but they do an awful lot of gabbing about what they "nearly" caught........

I threaded these buttons with some button twine that I got from The Ribbon Reel.....

A teeny brad at each corner of the rub-on sentiment anchors it to the card, and the "Happy Birthday" sentiment finishes it off......oh, and a bit of card slapped on the inside.....done!

Now....grit your teeth and start on a Male-themed creation.....you know you're gonna need one!

hugs,
