A Quick Male Card

Just a quick card to share today, to make for any male.
I made this for the Fiskarettes Design Team which I was a member of a while ago.
I saw the idea on Pinterest a while ago,and have made several varieties
depending on what type of shirt wearer I am making it for.

It could be made in subtle stripes, plain or any patterned paper,
to suit the type of shirt sleeve you require!

I have used nothing more than a paper trimmer, some glue, foam pads
and a black fine line pen.

Birthday Card for my Great Niece

Today, I would like to show you a birthday card I made recently for 

one of my great nieces.

I love embossing folders and I am embarrassed to admit I have quite a few! 

This Cuttlebug 'Happy Birthday' folder is probably one of the first ones I 

bought along with my Cuttlebug, but it's not been used for quite a while.

After embossing the card, I lightly inked a blending brush with Tattered Rose
distress ink, and then added Crystal Glamour Dust to give it some sparkle.
The ribbon and pink card were coloured with a Dusky Rose Promarker pen,
so that it all co-ordinated.

The items I have used are:-

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Happy Birthday

Cuttlebug Alphabet - Olivia

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Circles and Scalloped Circles 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-
Crafting from the Heart - Anything Goes
Craft your Passion - Anything Goes
Pixie's Snippets Playground - Anything Goes

Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
