CardzTV with Mary "My Guy" Challenge #10

(If you are looking for the first challenge (Forever Freebie) at Digi Haven, click here).


There's a challenge at CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps. It's called "My Guy". (Make a project for a masculine birthday or for Father's Day). I decided to make a birthday card for my husband. (His birthday is at the beginning of July).

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Yellow, Orange, Green, Lime Green, Black and Patterned Paper
Cricut Cartridge Simply Charmed Fish 1, page 41 (Base, Layer 1 Base, Layer 2 Base, Layer 3 Base and Shadow)
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps It's a Guy Thing, "Fishin' You a Happy Birthday!"
Black Pigment Ink
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Tiny Mosaic
Fiskars 3 in 1 Corner Punch
Light Blue Chalk
Mounting Tape

He loves to go fishing but his schedule generally doesn't allow it. (Maybe this summer).

On the sentiment, after I punched the two corners, I chalked around the edges. I single mounted the fish and each layer of the fishing reel. I thought the background paper was perfect. Don't you think so?

Well, head on over to CardzTV and join the challenge. Mary is giving away a set of stamps (your choice) to the winner (announced on Monday). Good luck!

I would love for you to be a follower. I also love reading your comments. Thanks for dropping by.

Second post today...

Another Birthday Card...Can you ever have enough of them? I think not...lol

I combined two challenges for this card. At My Craft Spot the challenge is "For The Birds" (Make a project and include a bird) and at CropStop, the challenge is "Rainbow of Colors" (Use 4 different colors and shades of the same color do not count).

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Light Yellow/Orange, Pink, Green and Patterned Paper
Studio G i-cling Stamps, Bird
StazOn Black Ink
Sugarloaf Whispers Strokes Markers
Nicole Ultra Fine Premium Glitter, Extra Fine Multi Diamond Dust
Fiskars 3 in 1 Corner Punch
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Make A Wish, "Happy Bird-day!"
Black Pigment Ink
Queen and Co Pearls, Pearl 2 Small
Pink Ribbon
Mounting Tape
Black Sharpie

After I outlined the bird's body with the marker, I used a brush with water to "color" the inside of the body. After it was dry, I glittered the body and the tail. Using a Sharpie, I added the legs to the bird. I am happy the way it all came together. What do you think?

Today is a beautiful sunny (but cool) day here. I am going to try and get outside in my front garden and pull out the old sticks. It would be nice to see the daffs, hyacinths and crocus that are blooming without all the old dead stuff around them. Have a nice rest of the day...

Leave a comment (I love reading them) and thanks for stopping by...
