ANYWAY! The theme is birthdays! I have not been keeping up with many of my dear friends and fellow card makers birthdays so last night I broke out the supplies and made a couple of cards for just that purpose.
My dads birthday is coming up in march and my Secret Sister was thoughtful enough to send me Fixafella images. My dad used to be all about his tools and making things. Not so much since his accident. (a few years back he broke his back in a car accident...shouldn't be walking...the disk SHATTERED). But I know he still likes looking and dreaming. So this one is for my dad.
The paper is an unknown brand from my sweet friend and admin Razberrywhine (diane). The other image is from my Riviting SU set. I used my watercolor pencils and Marvy blender pens. I lightly distressed the edges of the images with Soft Leaf colored ink and a sponge. Viola! A manly card!
In all honesty, I am not so sure about this second card. The colors are not what I had hoped on the image. Too dark. But I DID brave purple...I love the color, but I can never make it look right for some reason. I bought this paper like....AGES ago and have no idea who makes it. I also received the House Mouse Birthday Cupcake image as a RAK ages and ages ago. The flowers are American Craft and I stickled to add some bling!
