Good morning.
Today is the beginning of what I hope is a wonderful adventure, my first DT spot.
Our first challenge over at Cards 4 Guyz is :-
'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'
This is my first effort for the team.
I seem to be on the CAS theme again but using a masculine stamp and aperture this time.
The image is from LOTV and I coloured it with Copics as follows:-
Hair- YR24 Y21 E41,43
Grass-YG11,13,17
T-shirt- BG10,13,15
Log- E41,43,44,47
The background paper is from NitWits (Just hatched - clouds), glued to the base card and the top layer is white card embossed with a polka dot embossing folder after cutting the aperture with a Sizzix hexagon die.
I then mounted the image and the embossed layer with pads onto the base card. I cut away the log from the main image and mounted it on pads on the polkadot card putting in a few squiggles to suggest water as the original ones were lost when I cut the log off.
Well I hope you enjoy your first challenge over at Cards 4 Guyz or go and visit us and enter if you haven't been already.
I shall enter it in the following challenges:-
Craft your passion - Cool Colours
Dream Valley Challenges - Boys/Men
Crazy Challenge - Cards for men
Totally Goruss - Manly
LOTV - Anything goes
Bye, but come back soon.
This is very clever I love how the log is on the front of the card and the little boy in the aperture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card, Julie - love the little guy peeking through your aperture.
