Cards For Men Challenge 3

I found another challenge blog this weekend called Cards For Men, what a great idea as everyone struggles making male themed cards so this should be a good challenge and some inspiration too.

This weeks challenge was a sketch, and you could incorporate a love/valentine theme if you wanted to. I don't really tend to make valentines cards as me and my bloke don't bother with Valentine's day, so I made a birthday card instead.



I used fabby 3 Bugs In A Rug Playtime papers which I bought from Sarah's Cards a while ago. I do love these papers even if it is the first time I have cut into one. I used my Slice Just Chillin card to cut the game controller. At first I cut it in black, but it just looked weird, so I went for gray with black inking round the edges and stuck a scrap of black paper in the back of it for the buttons.

Thank you for looking.

Supplies

3 Bugs In A Rug Playtime
Elzybells Sentiment Stamp
MM Slice Just Chillin Card
Woodware Scalloped Circle Punch

Great card, Leigh. Me 7 my hubby don't bother too much with Valentines either. I might do some little ones for my three boys this year though.

Thanks for joining us over at Cards for Men and good luck with the challenge.
