I 'MALE'd this card to my Son in Law

I am the Hostess this week for the

WORD CHALLENGE at JUST US GIRLS

and I chose MASCULINE.

 

All too often we get carried away making 'Girly' cards

so this week it is the Male's Turn.

***

I have a girlfriend who is forever looking out for crafty items

for me and most of what is on this card is thanks to her.

***

The background stamp is from Urban Stamps - Cogs

Inked in several colours from Memento

I also got the metal cogs and inked a few of them

on the background.

I was given a bunch of different types of metal cogs

so worked perfectly for my Son in Law

as he was in the middle of restoring an old car -

hence I thought he could do with a few spare parts

The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping -

Chalkboard Birthday.

Hope I got to you with this challenge and

you get your male card stash updated.

 and our

Sieze the Birthday 'Masculine' card

for her brother who happens to be

'Guitar Crazy'

and I had the perfect stamp for this card.

How lucky I am that this card suits the current challenge over at

Sieze the Birthday for a Masculine Card.

I'm Stampin' on Tuesday again

 

 

 

 

There is another Sketch Challenge over at

Try Stampin on Tuesday

so I thought I would put my dies to work

and this is my creation.

 

 

 

I used the basic card stock and embossed my background with

a Darice folder called Henna.

I framed that in front of coloured card stock.

The flowers are from Stampin' Up - Flower Shop.

The colour on one of the flowers look a little red but is

actually burgandy.

I decided after placing them on my card that

they were too nice to cover up so cut out a circle of

acetate from a Spellbinder die so you can see clearly

through it to the flowers.

I popped my sentiment on top of that with a

double punch. My sentiment is from Gina K Designs.

Finished off with a few pearls.

Thinking 'SPRING' at the Mod Squad

 

Again this week I have a Special Friend as Hostess at

The Mod Squad

 

 

Susan Sieracki has asked us to create a card depicting 'Spring'

Maybe she picked this one because of all the 'Winter Blues'

all my overseas friends are experiencing while I have been

basking in 'Sunshine' but I won't gloat as it won't be long

and I will be experiencing those cooler days.

Also over at The Paper Players their challenge is 'Spring'
 

***

I have a special reason for making this card.

The flowers I used have been sent to me and are from

SU Flower Shop. I loved this set and I received

a bundle of them in my mail box

Thanks so much Maria...

Here is what I used -

White card stock as my base

Small piece of DP on the side

SU flowers - Flower Shop

Kasazz Leaves

Tim Holtz Stencils
