Hi again,
I had to make a card for a male friend's birthday & was wondering if I could make the gift stamp from the SAB set 'Happy Moments' look a bit blokey. I searched through Splitcoast & found this card. I figured with a change of colour (thanks to Keesh that took no thought) it would make a good birthday card.
I bought a 'Cuttlebug' embossing folder a while back that looks like metal plate, so used that on the Brocade Blue & Mellow Moss CS instead of the dots, and used B.B. DSP from the hostess gift pack again. I added a Jumbo Eyelet as they always give a blokey feel. I coloured the image with my markers and stamped a sentiment from the set 'On Your Birthday'. I'm not sure if it is really blokey but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.
After all this though, I'm thinking I might make a different card for my mate as he loves music & plays in the church band, & I have a great (non-SU) guitar stamp. Oh well, back to the drawing board...
Cheers,
Fi xox

I like this card Fiona, the red in it makes the whole thing "pop" and I think it definitely has a blokey feel, love that embossing!!!
Another fab card, Fi!
Funny how us women like to change our minds!!! Whoever gets this card is one lucky dude! Hugs, Andrea xx
Great card Fiona - it has a blokey look - love the added jumbo eyelet. Great job with the challenge colours. x
I love this card. I love the cuttlebug embossing folder you used and the effect it created for the card. Thanks for sharing.
