Hello my friends! I know it's been a little while since I've posted. Life just seems to have a way of keeping you busy, doesn't it? lol. Well, another thing I haven't done for a while is make a card. Today is my Dad's 78th birthday! So I made a card for him and thought I would share it with you. I don't know about the rest of you, but I find it a bit of a challenge making masculine cards. I don't really know why it's a challenge. Maybe it's because there isn't as many masculine themed stamps and dies as there are feminine. Or maybe it's just the way my creative mind works, I don't know. So when I see a stamp set that I can use to make some "man" themed cards or tags, I like to pick them up. I picked up both of these sets a while back with my Dad in mind. He loves vintage cars, so these were perfect. One set is by Chapel Road Stamps and the other is from Impression Obsession. I used some of my patterned paper from my stash and black Recollections card and a pre-made card I popped up the sentiment with foam tape to give the card a little dimension. All in all, this was a fairly simple card., I deliberately didn't make it too "fussy" in keeping with the masculine theme.
Not bad for 78! (actually, this pic is about a year old, he hates getting his picture taken!) |
Thanks so much for popping in, have an awesome day! xo
