This weeks challenge at Hero Arts blog is to make a male card or have a male make a card.... well that's not a happenin' thing here. Hubby is " crafty challenged" . Give him a garden tool and he is in his element.... but crafty stuff- no way!. So it's up to me....
As it is Father's day this Sunday I have made a few of this card to sell at work. The tie stamp is by Rubbadubbadoo and I used the HA Ancient Brocade to make the pattern on the middle tie. Layer on long rectangles cut with my nestabilities. The sentiment is from Stamp-it. As I used one HA stamp it can be entered for the challenge.
I also got asked this week to design a card for my friend Kathy. Her husband is 65 next week and she wanted something musical for him. This is what I can up with. I found the picture of the old gramophone on the internet ( Isn't Google just great). I printed it on plain paper and over-stamped HA Old French writing, before distressing the paper and edges in Old Paper and Aged Mahogany distress inks. Matted onto a mid-brown card stock ( cut with my nesties) Used peelcraft corners. I stamped the Inkadinkadoo Flourish on one side of cream card stock, The music paper was also a download I found on the 'net which also got the distress treatment. The whole lot was then mounted onto Chocolate chip cardstock. I stamped the Happy Birthday ( from HA Petite Messages set) along the bottom.. All in all I was pleased with the card and so was Kathy.
Thanks for coming by and hope the rest of your week is great.

Dawn these are great cards that you have done. I'm slowly learning about the downloads. So am in awe of your second card ;)
Great cards love the musical one! Great idea getting an image online, I will have to try that! And those ties are so cute!
Love both cards. The victrola is very vintage and lovely colors and the ties is just plain fun!
