Bridge Card

I purchased this stamp from Etsy for another project and thought it would make a great masculine birthday card stamp.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2014 (Oct)

Happy Fall! Here is my tag for October's challenge from Tim. The witch is from SU's "A Howling Good Time" set and was colored using SU's Write Markers. I cut the spider out using my silhouette and covered both the witch and the spider with Crystal Effects. The embellishments, paper and inks are also from SU.

OWH - Sketch #214

For this week's sketch ... I went way outside of the box to create this card. Instead of using multiple strips of paper I used a striped embossing folder on white cardstock. I originally placed the bow over the patterned paper and had planned to leave the top of the card plain but it looked unfinished. So, I broke out my stencils and the air spritzer and went to town. I moved the bow up to cover the gap between the stenciled image and the patterned paper and finished it off with a sentiment that seemed to go well with the card.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2014 (Mar)

Here in California we are getting our first major storm of 2014. So Tim's tag for March was perfect timing (i.e., we can't wait for Spring). I used Stampin Up's "Botanical Gazette" paper with the bird as the base for my tag and added feathers from the "Fine Feathers" set (both retired). I applied several colors of SU markers to the bird image and used the SU air spritzer with Tim's burlap stencil for the pattern at the top of the tag. The yarn and the ribbon are SU as well.

OWH - Sketch #210

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Here is this week's card for Operation Write Home's Sketch #210. This week I decided to go digital for a change and tried to keep the card somewhat masculine. I hope you like it.
