Wow.... you know it's pathetic when you get excited about finding time to create a ("a" as in ONE) card!
It's been such a long time since I sat down and relaxed and created a card...just because"...and I have to say..I am missing my creative time...alot
The truth is..this card was not a "just because" card...Gary actually asked me to make a guy card for a friend...but wow...this almost felt like a leisurely relaxed block of time for card making and creating...so I am happily considering it a victory! I FINALLY sat down and made a card!!!
This card is very simple and basic...and a great card to make if you don't have oodles of time to get out lots of supplies and materials...I used some basic Stampin Up! card stock (Kraft, Black..Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla) and a nice "guy" type of image with a beautiful sentiment...and a nice pocket watch image used as a backgrund...all were stamped out with TH Distressed (Vintage Photo) ink...I also daubered all of the edges with the TH ink..(even the Kraft...Black and Chocolate Chip cs)..and DONE!
This is a simple nice card to make in multiples if you're needing to stock up on guy cards...
but for now..I'll allow myself to be happy that I found a little speck of time to make "a" card!
And a wonderful 'One' card it is. :-)
ReplyDeletereally cute card, glad you are back to creating again. ~Diane
ReplyDeleteGlad you had some creative time. I was fortunate enough to be able to give up one of my jobs recently. I am loving all the extra crafting time! Your card is great, especially for a guy. I love that stamp.
ReplyDeleteNice card! One is always better than none :).
ReplyDeleteI know when my mojo has taken a vacation it isn't until I "have" to make a card that I can get back into my stamping room. Isn't that nice of your hubby to spark your creatitivity with his request. This is a very nice guy card. I like the stamping on the background. It really ties everything together.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that nice of your hubby. Its a perfect card for any guy.
ReplyDeletePerfect guy card. Love the saying. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this card, Michelle! And I hear you about time just to relax and enjoy a card!! We really should pace ourselves, huh?!?! Hope you are having a great weekend! Blessings to you!

ReplyDeleteGreat Guy card, Michelle. The distressing and kraft colors go so well with the image. Glad you found some time to play. I will let you know when the blog candy arrives --- I have my thank you card already to send to you with my great big smile.
