You're not old...

I always have problems trying to make a masculine card, so this year for my dad's birthday card, I found a 6x6 pad of paper by Authentique that was masculine and stuck to those colors.  I kept the lay out really simple and I think I kept it pretty masculine.

I used a car outline sticker from Elizabeth Craft Designs and paper pieced it onto blue card stock.  I used my wink of stella and wink of luna pens to color in some accents.  Then I matted it all on paper from that pad and stamped the sentiment with Clark's ABCs from Lawn Fawn.

For the inside, I used some scraps from the paper pad to add a little interest and finished the saying with the same alphabet stamp.  Clean, simple, and masculine :)

I'm playing along with Inspiration Destination's Anything Goes challenge this week.

Thanks for stopping by!

Boo!

I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post.... time just flies by!!  Today I'm sharing a little Halloween card I made while playing with my latest Freckled Fawn kit:

When I saw the frames in the kit, I immediately though window card.  I found a die that was close enough in size and got to work.  I don't do a ton of Halloween cards, so I couldn't decide what to use as a background, but while sifting through all of my paper, I found this great bat/spider web paper that was perfect!  I loved the chipboard letters for this and inked around the edges with a black marker so the brown chipboard color wasn't showing through, which made them pop a little more (and yes, technically, my exclamation point is the letter L with a dot ;)).  I finished it off by added some glitter epoxy stickers.

For the inside, I used the bat stamp from this month's kit and embossed it with some black glitter powder.  I used a stamp from an older kit to contain the bats - wouldn't want them jumping off the page at ya ;) - and added a little sentiment.

I'm entering this into the Anything Goes challenge going on at Inspiration Destination this week - new challenge blog and this is challenge #3! This week is sponsored by My Whimsical Little World.  You've seen some of my work with these cute digi stamps and now you have the chance to win two in the challenge this week, so go check it out!
