Fun Cheers!

Hello!  First of all,  thanks for all the comments and support I received about doing a second fashion post each week.  It seems a lot of you really want to see repeat outfits worn different ways.  I really loved Gina's comment  'We all don't get a new outfit 5x a week.'.  So true.  I've often wondered how some fashion bloggers afford to constantly buy new clothes all the time.  I know a lot of them sell their clothes on their blogs, so maybe that's how they manage.  I don't know.

Anyway, enough about clothes, today's post is a paper crafting post.  I made this card for a man in our church who I had no idea what his interests were, so even though it's slightly juvenile, I think it works for a guy because of the main image and dark papers.

The image is retired SU! 'Ain't Love Grand'.  The sentiments are epoxy stickers by K & Co., and the paper is DCWV 'Dots, Stripes, and Plaids'.

 Because the images in this set are so small, I stamped it on a tag I cut with a Spellbinder's Nestability Die.  I also cut out banners using MFT dies to help take up more space on the card.  I find little images so hard to work with, don't you?

The image was colored with Copic Markers, and, as always, the red ink bled a bit so I went back with a black marker to do a heavy outline and conceal the bleeding.  I really don't like red markers.  LOL!  Red and pink are the hardest colors for me to work with.

For even more interest, I finish the card with a zig zag stitch and black paper dots.

I'm sure I got this sketch from somewhere, but I didn't write it down and unfortunately I don't remember.  If you recognize it, let me know, and I'll edit my post.

Have a great day!  Amy
