Hello again! The Birthday challenge at Simon Says Stamp has inspired me to make a few birthday cards to have on hand. Today I'm sharing a silly guy card with you and hopefully, tomorrow I'll have something frilly for the girls.
This masculine card is made with a background created with Tim Holtz Rosettes Embossing Folder, Metallic Kraft Stock, Distress paint, crayon, and alcohol ink. I have a complete step by step tutorial on this technique
HERE.
I heat embossed three Seth Apter die cuts I had in my stash with silver embossing powder and a sprinkling of Hammered Metal powder for age. Idea-olgy Keepsake and Snippet ephemera, Paper Doll and Snarky Small Talk sticker finish it off. The Paper Doll was colored with Chipped Sapphire Distress Crayon and a water brush, and the ephemera aged with Ground Espresso ink. The blue panel is matted with black card and a panel of old Paperstash--possibly Dapper.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my grungy card. Hugs! Sara Emily

hahahaha! What a great card to use a photo of someone so regal and sophisticated in his serious pose, to be paired with the hilarious sentiment, also done in a vintage, sophisticated manner. Your details, as always, Sara, are breathtaking with amazing beauty and textures! Looking forward to the "girl" version! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteFun to make, Donna, but I just can't see sending this to anyone. I love this guy with his deadpan look--he just looks like that's what he's thinking to me.
DeleteAwesome card, Sara Emily. You always know how to put together various textures and make them work.
ReplyDeleteThe sentiment really is hilarious Sara and I can think of people who would appreciate it too! Love that fabulous background you created and the guy image is perfect to match the sentiment, with his deadpan expression, I can just imagine him thinking something like that! Hugs, Anne xx
