Male Card

Hi All,

I dont know about you but i always struggle with Male cards, i have had this Kenny K image for quite some time now and this is the first time i have used it. I have tried to keep the card itself fairly simple as the image really is such fun and being a male card i didnt want to overload it with embellishments.

Image: Kenny K

Papers: These are a British set i think i purchased from Do Crafts stockists ( i have had it for some time and not gotten around to using it)

Colouring: Copics

Gems & Card stock from stash

Hi everyone,

Hope your Monday has been going well so far. I started this card last night and finished it off this evening. I fell in love with this digi from The Paper Shelter a while ago and of course purchased it but have been having a little trouble trying to find a card or occasion to fit it. Hope you agree this one all worked very well together.

I used the following...

Using old backing papers

Well i am entering a couple of card making blog challenges with this card and the theme for Simon Says Stamp was something "Old" well i have had the backing papers i used in my stash since i started getting interested in card making a few years ago and just never seemed to use them. I am also entering The Sketchy Challenges blog and i loved their sketch thought it would be fun to combine the two.

I took a 15cm x 15cm card blank in pearlescent white as my base. I then cut a square in black card measuring 13cm x 13cm which i adhered to the card using foam tape. I then cut three pieces of my old backing papers in 8cm x 8cm, 11.5cm x 6.5cm and 5.5cm x 5.5cm. I arranged these on the card to match the sketch and adhered them with double sided tape. I downloaded the zebra digital image and printed on Copic card. I coloured the zebra a light grey just to make him pop a little more and coloured the background roughly as i wanted to have a little texture rather than be flat. I cut out the image and scalloped black circles using dies. I then attached them to the card using double sided foam square so he really pops out at you. it wouldn't be one of my cards without a few gems. Hope you like my finished card

I used...
