Sheep are not Male.....however...........

I still keep using this image for Male cards. I just like it, and don't think it's particularly girly...though would work as well of course. I think sunflowers are also a nice butch manly man flower too. At least that's what I'm hoping the 16yr old recipient of this card will think lol. 

This is to celebrate the Baptism of the son of a friend. Congratulations Joseph. 

The image is of course by the wonderful Mo Manning Coloured with good old Promarkers, the flowers and cute little bumbles are picked out with sakura glaze pens. 

My Flowers are from an arrangement I  dismantled - is that upcycling or re-cycling I'm never quite sure lol  

I'm entering this into the challenge over at Crafty Sentiments  

which this time is to make a card/project for a Male 

On Top Of The World

This is for one of two friends who were Baptised last weekend. This is for a man, so I held off on the embellishments, though managed to get in a few gems, lace and ribbons lol. This is a Mo's Digital Image, coloured with ProMarkers - wish it fitted with the latest DP2 challenge. My papers are Kay & Co and I did my background in the style of Dorcas, though hers are cleverer and stitched with a real sewing machine...mine are 'stitched' with a sakura pen. I glued a couple of buttons together (top one is Ribbon Girl) as my sun and added ribbons as sun rays. My lace 'grass' is crocheted by little me.

Bearly Mine Challenge #37 - Animal Kingdom.

B is for Baptism

My card is for a friend in Ireland who was just Baptised. The red frame, is cut out using two die's put through together, I saw this on Catered Crop....sadly  it looks like just a mat in this scan. The challenge is to use the letter B, so I have Baptism, Bow and bling. My papers are both Kay & Co, the green quilted is a 6 x 6 from a Variety Pack I had from Craft All Day. It's a beautiful selection of papers from different Design Pads. The ribbon is also from there. My bling and cardstock are stash. 

I thought this image by Mo is perfect for a Man's card - I struggle so much with those lol. 

Colourants are ProMarkers. I did put shading on his skin, just been washed out in the picture. 

Catered Crop  The Letter B

Popped up with lace and pearls

My last free standing pop up for a while...maybe lol, I do find this style a lot of fun to make. 

My Image is from Card Mad Fairy, I added On Your Baptism in Word. I used a little shimmery chalks to colour the image. I think the paper lace is a from a cuttlebug set..I'll have to check. 

 I decorated with panels of embossed (cuttlebug) folder and papers from Papermania...I think the ribbons are from them too. My pearls are from my jewelry stash

Fab 'n' Funky Challenges ..Lace and Pearls

Manly Men like Flowers, Don't They!!??

This card is for a friend who was just Baptised. I find this kind of card for a man very difficult, and I think this is my favourite male card to date. My DP is from my 6x6 V&A pack, ribbon is Marianne Creatables, as is the ribbon carrying border die. My Flower is cut from the tiny centre of the Fleur d lyes squares by nesties. I'll get back to you on the stamped sentiment. It was all in one, but I cut it so I could put it around the square. My digi is Arthurs Clip-Art. 

I thought the Flower in a matching warm grey wasn't too girly lol....besides many men like flowers.
