Tom's Motorbike
Well we all could use a man card throughout the year so here's one for you to case if you like. LOL!! Hey, I'm all about making it easier for other people. Speaking of easy, the easiest thing to start with on a man card is a masculine image and papers from the same collection and in this case I've chosen Pion's "Mr. Tom Treasures". The motorcycle was cut from one of the 12 x 12 sheets - GASP! I know from a whole sheet!! Nah, I had used some already so it lessened the ordeal. LOL!!!
One of my favorite 12" x 12" pieces that comes from the line is "Mr. Tom's Automobiles" and has nothing but license plates all over the back. You have enough plates to last a lifetime!! WOO HOO!! LOL!
I love sprockets for men's cards and the Joy "Gears" die cuts beautifully. I also added a piece of vintage seam binding and was careful to just knot it instead of making it into a pretty bow. LOL!! AND it's green, a good "man" color. hee hee
To get the sprockets background I used Dutch Doobadoo's mask art "A5 Gears". This is the perfect staple to have in your stash! I also cut some of the Scrapiniec "Royal Background Mesh" and painted it using a Tim Holtz dauber. That chipboard takes paint beautifully!
Ok so I hope I've helped out someone with their man card as we know that father's day will be upon us in no time flat. It's funny, every year the same holidays and special days come up and I'm still so shocked when all of a sudden "it's here again!" LOL! Jeesh! 😀
Thanks for stopping by!

Noor! Design UK Spring Challenge
Yup yup yup it's that time again!!! CHALLENGE TIME and this month we are playing with
SPRING!!
Thank goodness!! So happy!! LOL! I thought I would play with the new Pion Papers "The Songbird's Secret" and cut one of the images from the 12 x 12 "Perching Bird". I know, cut into a gorgeous piece of paper?!! GASP!!! 😱 Wasn't it worth it tho? It was the perfect fit for the Scrapiniec "Lavender Mist" frame. I love this new Marianne die simply called "Butterfly Border" - stunning isn't it?! It even comes with 2 separate butterfly dies which I thought was brilliant!! They are different sizes so you can either pop them onto the border like I have here or you could center the smaller die cut over the bigger one. I've done that too and it looks very pretty.
This is a new birdcage out from Joy - Little Happiness - and I embossed it using Stampendous "aged gold" embossing enamel. I added a chipboard bird, which I colored by tinting some white gesso with walnut stain distress ink. Then I covered it with Crackle accents to get that weathered look...ummm ya so that didn't work out the way I had in mind. Dang it! ha ha ha!
Well please stay tuned as I have another card to share with you tomorrow already. I'll give you a hint....masculine. OK OK that's it!! LOL!! Have a wonderful week and thank you so much for dropping by!
HUGS!
