My anniversary is fast approaching! I used some of my free time, that was also hubby-free, to make a handmade surprise card for my Husband. I already knew what stamp set I wanted to use, "Card Chatter Love", from close to my heart. But I had to search around for some inspiration for color and design. I found this for inspiration from Moxie Fab World blog. It is a
Tuesday Trigger called "Man-tastic".

I found a great card sketch to use on the Mojo Monday Card Sketch Challenge! This one is called Mojo 244!
So here is what I created combining all of the above criteria and inspiration! Tada!
I used alternating hearts along a stitch looking stamp to mimic the rain drops on the string in the "Man-tastic" inspiration photo. I used the colors from the photo as well: Cranberry Red, Teal, Indian Corn Blue, Grey Flannel, and Chocolate.
I used the new fork trick that I learned from Pinterest to tie this fancy bow out of color ready ribbon. Who knew I needed tools from the Kitchen in my craft area!?
I love the "Card Chatter Love" stamp set for anniversary cards, weddings, and Valentine's day. On this one I used the "You are my..." on the cover of the card and placed "Happily Ever After" on the inside.
Such an awesome - yet manly - card! You are so talented! And I love the fork trick :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Joanna!
DeleteWow- did you seriously stamp every one of those hearts? Respect!! Love the card and bet your hubby will too!
ReplyDeleteI did stamp each heart! Each time I wanted to switch colors I just stamped it on a scrap piece of paper until I couldn't see it anymore. :)
DeleteThis is seriously too cute with those hearts! (but men don't like cute...so let's say (insert blokey voice)...bloody nice one mate! - that's the Aussie slang version! Hahaha) :)
ReplyDeleteI love the fork trick! Now moving cutlery to craft room!
