A special welcome to my new followers, hope you will continue to enjoy my crafty projects :) Today I have a male birthday card to share with you, my friend's husband is celebrating his birthday this Friday. I always find it so hard to make nice male cards, as the usual themes in crafty kits don't usually work. I don't know anyone who enjoys cricket, none of my friends wear suits or like to DIY and some of the saucier designs I would feel a bit embarrassed to send. So when I came across the design below, I thought I would try it, the guy it's intended for doesn't especially enjoy sailing as far as I am aware, but everybody like the Old-Dutch-tile style, right? Well, let's hope he does anyway :)
Materials:
* Studio Light Decoupage images, borders, DPs and sentiments
* Silver peel-offs and blue card from stash
Challenges:
* Love to Create (Masculine + optional Sketch - I didn't use the sketch)
* Cards for Men (The Great Outdoors)
* Use Your Stuff (Ad Inspiration - Water, boats, blues)
* One Stitch at a Time (Anything Goes)
* PanPastel UK (Bright Colours)
* Pile it On (From/For a Man)
* Cupcake Craft (The Sound of Music - I am Sailing by Rod Stewart)
* Paperplay Time (For the Guys + Sentiment)
* Just Keep Creating (Anything Goes)
