-heehee! I needed to make a birthday card for Bill's brother today and was a bit stumped. Taylor's cupcake sketch to the rescue. I know I do a lot of truck cards for masculine birthdays, but hey -they are so perfect. I have a small stash in my PIF and RAK box and they are my 'go to' images for masculine birthday cards.
I was digging into my DP for the card and found the Designer Prints in Blue Bayou and realized I have NEVER used it! So, I chose the argyle pattern for the 4 background squares. I colored the image with my Copic markers -getting better... To make the ribbon a bit more masculine, I put a small piece of Hodgepodge Hardware on it and used some of the brass brads from that are a perfect match. Believe it or not, the brads from my kit are too dark and don't look good with the pieces at all. Those are all discontinued, other
embellishments can be found here.

What a great masculine card! You can never go wrong with a car...at least not in my hubby's family!! Love the striped ribbon!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Michelle! Your coloring is awesome... such a perfect masculine card!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card. I love the colors and the ribbon you used.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful masculine card -- love the colors and the image -- great job! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll say masculine! The argyle has it and so does the car and that spiffy buckle~ Terrific.
ReplyDeleteI used this as the inspiration for a birthday card for my husband. I used the truck & presents from the Loads of Love set (wish I had this one), colored with pencils; and used some brown with grey & black and white diamond patterned paper. I know he'll love it. Thanks so much!! And thanks to whomever liked it enough to put it on pinterest!!!
