Another Father's Day card for those of you still stuck for ideas for masculine cards. Men are just so darned hard to create cards for, but I actually enjoy the challenge. This card is quite bright and summery, but still retains just enough 'masculinity' to work as a card for a Dad (I hope!).
I was initially inspired by this card and this card by Kristina Werner but I got a little bit over excited when creating my card and forgot to adhere the vellum on before anything else…and once that glue is stuck, there’s no getting it off for love nor money! So I had use another technique for holding the vellum in place on that bottom right corner.
So, working with the design I had in mind, I just used the stickles a little further down the card than I had planned, and ‘glued’ the vellum edge down with a few blobs of stickles.
And because the rainbow polka dot c.s. that I used just below it had glitter blobs on it too, it kind of looks like it’s meant to be falling into the next part of the design. Phew – card saved from the scrap heap!

Fab card, love the use of vellum and stickles - may have to borrow that one myself! I always love your video tutorials, they really help me as a newbie! Also your voiceover sounds a lot clearer on the video - have you done something different?
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the card! No I've not done anything different...maybe just talked a bit louder, lol ;-)
ReplyDeleteI left you a comment on U Tube but I thought I would leave one here too. I have watched several of your videos today and I love the way you design cards. There are things you have done that I have never seen before. I love the different ways you use embossing powder. I have got so many ideas from you today and I look forward to seeing many more in the future. I think I will subscribe to your emails also, eventho I have subscribed to your videos on U Tube. You have alot of talent. keep the videos coming.
