Two blog posts and two masculine cards in one day, wow!
My card is for our Seems A Little Sketchy #10 challenge that starts today sponsored by Delicious Doodles!
We were able to choose images from Delicious Doodles for our sample cards, when I saw this motorcycle I knew it would be perfect, I flipped and slightly reversed the sketch so hopefully it's still recognizable!
I'd been thinking about stamping "DAD" on the top of the red panel so it could be a Father's Day card but chickened out for awhile. If it's not straight I'll have ruined my card. I'm not the stamper I used to be, I've been spoiled by digital images, lol. After my card was finished and sat for a few days I decided to get on my computer and print "Dad" in capital letters on red paper and see what it looked like. I carefully trimmed the red piece to fit over the strip that is already there and secured it with adhesive. I like it!

Jan, Both this card and the one before this one are fabulous guy cards. Your coloring just amazes me every time I look at one of your cards. Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI really like this Jan. The background texture is perfect, and the graphic-ness is so manly. And I REALLY understand the reluctance to stamp on a finished card! Printing out a sentiment is a great alternative!
ReplyDeleteA really lovely card Jan and love the clean and simple style. Perfect for a male card.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in with the MMM wheels challenge and wishing you good luck.
