Hello friends, thanks so much for topping by. A little while ago I was talking with my DH about masculine cards and he told me that men like - so I went into The Studio and got out some images I had saved from TYPO - their shopping bags are fabulous and I love reusing them - especially for masculine cards - I have a few cards using the images in my RECYCLED Cards Album on facebook.....I might add at this point - I have quite a number of these bags and look forward to using the images in different ways.
A Kraft card front measuring 14.5cm x 9.5cm has been popped up onto a slightly larger pre-cut cream card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares. A strip of white stars has been adhered at the top of the card front - this is out of my scraps box - we all have those little bits that we convince ourselves we will use at some stage LOL!
The image has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Squares LG Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine and coloured using Chameleon Pens. I have used a White Paint Pen for highlights. This has been matted onto back card stock and popped up onto the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares. The recycled Corrugated cardboard has been adhered under the image and down the side of the card front using liquid glue. Random Cogs from my stash have been layered onto some mesh - I found this in the neighbours driveway and just had to pick it up - I think it is perfect for masculine cards #recycling LOL!
The Happy Birthday sentiment has been stamped onto white card stock using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black. I have run around the edges with a black marker and adhered it between the image and the corrugated card stock using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares for dimension. The button is an embellishment from a set of Kaisercraft Collectables.
