Are mens cards harder???

Hello again,

The current challenge over at Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog is 'For a Man!' and I must say I let out a small omg when I read it!!!  Men's card can be so difficult and so challenging to make so hopefully the whole DT will have come up with some inspiration for you over this challenge!

I had to have a long think about who I would send it too and how to make it a little funky!!!
The sponser this time is Doodle Pantry and I was so surprised when I took a look at their range of digi's as to how many options I had for a funky man's card, so I hope you like the design I came up with.......


The image I chose was a package of digi's and papers called Detective Sheep!  Isn't he fabulous!
I coloured the sheep with my Graph'it Marker Pens in the following colours:
Sheep - 9501 9502 9505 9507 9909 9905
Clothes - 8240 8280 8290

I layered it simply on black card and a checked background to match the hat design.  The sentiment is Birthday and is hidden in the little note book I made!!



The note book was really simple to make!  An off-cut of black card and some printer paper...cut to 2inches by 1 inch and wrapped together with bakers twine as you can see in the photo.  I added some pinflare buff it in gold to add an aged effect to the cover and that was it!

I really hope you like this one and thank you for stopping by.  Don't forget to leave a comment as I love reading your feedback :)

Happy Crafting :)
