The theme for this round was masculine while incorporating items found in the garage :) I thought about this long and hard. I had so many ideas swirling in my head, and many I will probably be doing soon. But, in the end, I decided to create this card.
I actually had fun making this card. I decided to make a card for one of my heroes! My brother! He is currently in the army and has just returned from a 12 month deployment in Iraq. But could easily be made for a husband, dad, son, grandfather, any male hero :) He is my hero for so many reasons. Being gone from us is tough on him (and our whole family). But, he has chosen to serve this country while making so many sacrifices. That makes him My Hero!
I made this card by cutting a strip of patterned paper for the middle. I also cut a small star strip. I punched a coordinating patterned paper for the top and bottom. I tied a piece of jute twine, because this says masculine to me :)I cut the tops of two screw off, and used them at the sides of the sentiment. The supplies I used are Pink Paislee paper, Papertrey Ink Jute, and my new Fiskars Upper Crest punch. I wanted to do a simple masculine card that would be something any man would love to receive.
The cards this round are so gorgeous and creative. I am officially nervous, and if I don't move on, I can honestly say that I will be thrilled for all of my new friends to move on. We have really had a chance to get to know each other (you should see how many emails are being sent lol)
