Morning all. Today sees a new challenge over at Cardz4Guyz. Our theme this time is appropriately for the time of year -
A VALENTINE FOR A MALE
I always find, if in doubt, go down the CAS route for a masculine card. So with the help of a few challenges and new stash, I came up with this.
I treated myself to some new bits and bobs the other day including this cute mouse from Anita Jeram, Be Creative Mini stamp.
I'd seen a few ideas using this painting mouse, so decided to combine the challenges from JUGS, Inkspirational and CAS on Friday. I cut my own stencil using a heart die and the ink splatter die from Tim Holtz and Sizzix which I inked through onto a panel of white card. The colours at JUGS lead me to select Kitch Flamingo DI to create the splatter heart, the mouse was stamped and coloured with my Zig markers, along with a little bit of the DI for the brush. My panel of card was cut using a Hero Arts Rounded Rectangle and mounted onto Kraft before adding to an off white note card. The sentiment is from another Anita Jeram set, Snuggle Bunny, embossed with white EP.
So where will you go with your Valentines? We'd love to see them in the gallery this week at Cardz4Guyz, where you'll also find some more masculine inspiration from the rest of the team.
