G'day, How are you going? Hope you have had a chance to do some craftin'. I'm very excited, because, I have won the last AnnaBelle Stamps Bling Challenge, with my card from the post below. I am patiently (just about chasing the postie) waiting for the prize to arrive. I have won the 'Floral Stems' stamp set. I can't wait to get ink on it! Excited!!! Doin' a little happy dance!!!
Okay, onto my share for today. This is the card I made for my brother-in-law's birthday. I don't have many male oriented stamp sets. I will usually try to find an image from the free colouring sites to print out to use. But, our printer has been out of ink for awhile. So, I sat and pondered over what I had on hand. And, this what came to mind.
These little frames are ribbon slides. I stamped the images and then cut them to fit. I cut the strip of brown cardstock and threaded it through the ribbon slides. Spaced them where I wanted them to go, and, then glued the small images into the centres of the ribbon slides. Once the glue had dried, I covered the images with some Glossy Accents. It sealed them and made them look like little miniature picture frames.
Here is a close-up of the sentiment. I popped this up on some foam tape, just to give it some dimension. I used distress ink on all the edges to tie it all together.
Hope you have enjoyed my creation today. I am working on another couple of cards to play along with the latest challenges over at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog. If you are looking for some inspiration and to have some fun, head over to their blog and check it out. Sure it will help to get the creative juices flowing.
I will try and share some of the scrapbooking I have been doing with my Mum in the next couple of posts.
Thanks for popping in and happy creating.
Cheers, Deb
Great male card Deb......love the little frames!! Congrats on your win looking forward to seeing more of your cards using ABS *wink*
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely! And I agree that it's hard to find a decent card for a male. Maybe you should consider coming up to Townsville one time before Christmas or something and have a stall at the Strand Night Markets. You'd do a roaring trade I am sure.
ReplyDeleteHi Ladies, Thanks for the comments.
ReplyDeleteHey Sue, I'm trying so hard to get my card together for the latest sketch challenge. I've got it in my head, I've just gotta find the time to prise it out. I have to take my Mum out of town tomorrow. And, then pick her up the next day. That leaves me Friday. I can do it!!!
Hi Barefoot, I would love to be able to do the markets in Townsville. I will have a look into it. Sure my in-laws would enjoy having us for the weekend. :-)
Hope you are having a lovely week.
Cheers, Deb
