I confess – guy cards are my nemesis!  I struggle SO much to create something masculine and almost always find myself crafting under pressure the night before any male birthday or celebration to create a card because I’ve just put it off and put it off!!  Even my card today doesn’t scream “masculine” to me!  I just had to add that little gold heart – it wasn’t right without it, lol!!
I used some distress inks with the Rays stencil from Tim Holtz on watercolour card and then stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from Many Messages by Clearly Besotted.  I did try to be masculine – just not sure I pulled it off, lol!!

Today I’m sharing one more Christmas card – this time a special one I made for my lovely mum and dad.  I managed to find amongst my Clearly Besotted stamp sets the phrases “For My Wonderful” and “at Christmas” so that I could make the sentiment panel.  I die cut the letters using Avery Alpha’s dies from Avery Elle from some red glitter paper I have had for about 2 years!  It’s actually a sheet of wrapping paper I found at a department store and it’s SO red and SO glittery – I LOVE it!  I cut a small section from the large sheet and stuck it onto some double sided adhesive sheets before running it through my Big Shot.  Not surprisingly I am still in love with anything gold this Christmas so I stamped the greetings in Versamark and heat embossed with Ranger Gold EP.  I tied it together with the big ampersand cut from gold Bazzill cs using the die from Clearly Besotted’s Monogrammed die set.  The gorgeous teeny heart was cut using Simon Says Stamp’s Mini Hearts dies (never realised how useful these would be until I bought them!!).

50dollar_voucher_600pxI must first apologise for the picture – boy did I struggle to get a decent photo of this card!!!  I am not boasting, but this photo does not do the shimmer and glimmer on this card ANY JUSTICE!!!

I water coloured the image using my gorgeous Kuretake watercolour set ( so in love with these).  The beards on the kings are coloured with the pearl paint in the set – it’s like painting with cream!!  I also added a wee bit of gold flakes to the presents – obviously that doesn’t show too well in this awful photo!!

Penny Black

Have a wonderful week – this time next week the big man will have been – hope you’ve been good??!!
