My card today is for the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge - to make a masculine card. Masculine cards are a HUGE challenge for me! Most of the stamps I am drawn to are very cutesy or kid friendly... that makes it tough to come up with a manly card! So, this is about as masculine as it gets from me...

   

  

Deer Bodies - E27, E25, E23

Antlers, Ears, etc - E53, E51, E50

Eyes, Noses, Brows - E29

Bushes - YG25, YG03, YG01

Sky - BG0000

  

The image and sentiment are from old Angel Company sets. I colored the image with my Copics, then cut it out leaving a thin white border, so it would stand out against the brown die cut shape. I didn't want to do too much embellishing, so I just threaded a few buttons onto Tan Scrappers Floss, and then held them down with Mini Glue Dots.

So how did I do?? Is it masculine enough??

...to the Cardabilities Blog for the latest sketch! This is a fun sketch, and I can't wait to see what you all come up with!  

For my card, I used the honeycomb background stamp from the Paper Smooches Geo-Graphic set in place of the squares on the sketch. The bees from the Bee Happy set by There She Goes are colored with Copics, cut out, and popped up on foam adhesive. I added a little sparkle to their wings with Recollections Extra Fine Glitter (love this stuff!). The bee trail and sentiment are also from Bee Happy.

Yup... another fruit pun for you today! This time I used one of the newest Whimsie Doodles images - Watermelon Dress. The watermelon print paper was a lucky find at Michael's... perfect with this image, isn't it? She is printed on Neenah Classic Crest Cardstock, and colored with Copics... I had a little trouble with her hair - she just has SO much of it! The sentiment is from an old Angel Company set - also perfect for this image!

Happy Friday everyone! My SWEET card today is for a couple of challenges...

  

...the Tuesday Morning Sketch...

  

  

...and Loves Rubberstamps - Anything Goes.

  

Here it is... I used "Flynn's Berry Happy" from Stamping Bella, and the cute strawberry print paper is from the Dear Lizzy "Neapolitan" pad. Aren't they a perfect match? The word "BERRY" in the sentiment is stamped in Versamagic Pink Grapefruit Ink, for a little interesting contrast to the rest of the sentiment. What do you think??

The Greeting Farm Sketch Challenge this week was one I couldn't resist! I love that giant circle for the focal image!

  

 

I used Angel Anya for my card, and kept it pretty clean and simple...

I added a little sparkle to Anya with some Extra Fine Glitter on her wings, and a Stardust Glitter Gel Pen was used on her halo. The sentiment was computer generated. What do you think???
