Still working on my men's basket of cards!!! There is a great sketch at Playing in Paradise this week and so I decided to use this sketch to make another men's card.
The stamps are from the "It's a Guy Thing" set from Raisin Boat. The kraft paper was stamped with Adirondack Espresso ink using different sentiments from the set. The chair was paper pieced with paper from the Paper Studio. The rug is an oval die cut that has been snipped with scissors around the edge to make fringe. HA stamp was used to give a faux wallpaper effect on the top wall section. Dye inks on pieces of Cut 'N Dry were used for the floor, lower wall and to highlight the wood grain on the cream panel behind the image. The wood grain is from a PTI embossing plate. (FYI..if you LIGHTLY mist the piece of paper with water before using the embossing plate, you get a much deeper impression...wink) A Copic marker was used to add a little distressing to the well worn, comfy chair.
This is the sketch that was used to create this card.
Back to creating cards in my Butterfly Garden.

ReplyDeleteFantastic card for your man basket! The rug is awesome, and I love the little newspaper rolled up on the floor. In my house, though, it would be strewn all over the kitchen table, the floor, and the furniture!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fun. Love how you've stamped the sentiments on the kraft, great idea. The well worn recliner is the cutest thing, love it!
