I made this manly card last night :
The sketch I got up from this sketch at The Male Room #20:
I stamped the Background Stripes from Hero Arts Canvas Stripes Background with blue ink and then the Coffe Cup is from The Alley Way Stamp set (Breakfast Club). I stamped much coffee beans on the brown paper and put it as the strip there. The Coffee Cup I colored with Copic Marker.
I like to make as simple as I can :)
Challenges for my first card:
Crafty Sentiments Designs: Anything Goes (sdh a.p.)
Loves Rubberstamps #121: Anything Goes (sdh a.p.)
Sister Act Challenge #77: Anything Goes (sdh a.p.)
Inkspirational Challenge #66: Beverages/Drinks (sdh a. p.)
----------------------------*****----------------------------
The second card based from this sketch from Stamplorations #21:
As I have no big flower stamp (and I love Shery Big flower sketches) from Stamplorations also I choose this Sentiment Buliders HAPPY to make my main Image.
I stamped the sentiment on a paper and gave the CLEAR embossing powder, then I embossed it...after that with distress ink I started to colored my paper. Green tone to brown tone this time. Last but not least I colored with my Copic in brown to highlight the sentiment HOLIDAYS.
I love the result and then I stamped HAPPY and gave glitter silver embossing powder on it. The silver strip is my old collection of sticker, it was bought around 2009 :)
Challenges for my second card are:
Papertake Weekly Challenge: Anyting Goes (sdh a.p.)
Artistic Inspirations Challenge #112: Anything Goes (sdh a.p.)
RETARTE: Fall/Autumn or Anything Goes, (I choose the colors of autumn but the theme is Holiday also I join the Anything Goes Challenge this time :) hope it counts)
Stamping Sensations: October Challenge Autumn (I used the Autumn colors)
Stamplorations October Challenge: Stamps and Embossing (I embossed all the sentiment on my card)
*****EDITED (as I dont want to write another post and I just made a card for the new challenges, I put also my card here :))****
This is the Baby card with all PINK on it :) My friend need a baby card for his friend who got the baby last 2 weeks, cause I need to put her name on it I still wait until he got the name of the baby from the Mom :) the Baby´s name is EMILIE, also this is a card for her...
This is so easy to made, I have one and only pink dots paper on my stash (sent from my lovely friend last 3 years ago) and I have old die cut Baby dress that I bought in Ebay. Also choose pink DP and pink Vellum, also the sentiment I stamped on a hot pink paper.
I ask my friend do you like this....(send per MMS) then he said yes...also...my job today is DONE :)
I like to join these challenges:
Freshly Made Sketches #157: see sketch bellow: (sdh a.p.)
Double Click Connections: Use Pink (sdh a. p.)
Miriam´s Crafting Challenge: must have at least two shades of pink (I used more two shades of pink on my Baby card)
Thanks for looking and happy thursday :)

ReplyDeleteOOOO! Your cards are both gorgeous, but the second one just really pops. I love how you've highlighted some words - great design!!
ReplyDeleteYour coffee card has a great masculine feel to it with the stamped stripes on blue background, and I love the strip of coffee beans!
ReplyDeleteAs for your second I like your idea of adding lots of words as the focal point, a great idea for me when I'm not in the mood for coloring.

These cards are all fabulous Monica, but I love the coffee cup one for our Male Room challenge. It makes me want a coffee cup image, brilliant for manly cards. The background is so bright and cheery. It really is a great take on the sketch, as you say, clean and simple, my favourite style. Thanks for playing along
