Hello and happy Tuesday!
Today starts the new challenge at
Yo! Dude!
We want to see projects for the special men in your life.
(or for a complete stranger. We don't judge. *wink*)
Here's the card I made:
and the inside:
My teammate Barbara was kind enough to send me some stamped
images from the Hipsters set by Tim Holtz. I thought it was high
time I used them. (again, hoarder)
The chimp dude was colored with Prismacolor pencils and Glossy Accents added to his glasses.
That background panel I had made a couple months ago, and decided to finally use it.
It's die cut, sprayed with a couple Dylusions spray inks, stenciled over
with embossing paste, then splattered with black ink.
(drying between all layers, of course)
The black panel was dry embossed with stripes before adhering
everything together all wonky like.
As for the inside sentiment, I printed that out on my computer.
(Shout out to Charlton Heston from the Planet of the Apes movie!)
As everyone in my family shares a snarky sense of humor,
this will eventually be mailed to one of my male relatives. LOL!
I look forward to seeing your male themed creations in the gallery
at Shopping Our Stash! For more ideas, do yourself a favor and
visit the blogs of my teammies. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!
