Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #30: Cards for Guys

4 Jun

Good morning!!  It’s time for a new Lawn Fawnatics challenge and we’re challenging you to create cards for guys!!  My card might not seem overly masculine but it’s perfect for my band director husband! 😉

Happy Birthday by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Lawn Fawnatics

The new Critter Concert set is perfect for a musical family like mine!  And I just loved that little conducting bird!  I started by stamping the various images from the stamp set with intense black ink and then colored them with copic markers before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies.  I added a few accents with a white gel pen and set them aside while I worked on the background of the card.

Happy Birthday by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Lawn Fawnatics

I took a piece of black cardstock and tucked it inside my MISTI.  Then I lined up the “Happy” sentiment along the top of the cardstock and stamped it with versamark.  I heat-embossed it with white embossing powder and then placed it back inside the MISTI.  I moved the panel up slightly then stamped and heat-embossed again.  I repeated that until the sentiment was stamped down the entire panel.  I also added a few music notes and heat-embossed them.  I trimmed that panel down to 4″ by 5.25″ and adhered it to a white card base.  On the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment “Happy Birthday To You” from the Critter Concert set.  I stamped the rest of the sentiment onto white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I trimmed that down and adhered it to the front of the card with foam mounting tape.  Then I added my bird, his music stand, baton, and additional music notes with foam mounting tape.  To finish the card I added a little nuvo crystal glaze to his bowtie!

And now it’s your turn!  I can’t wait to see your cards for guys!!  You can link up your entries on the Lawn Fawnatics blog!  Thanks so much for visiting and have an amazing day!
