SFYTT September Card


Hi Friends, I have a masculine birthday card to share today compliments of Reverse Confetti. I picked up my first RC stamp set, Oliver Owl. I think he's a great addition to my stamp collection. I need more masculine stamps and thought he fit the bill nicely.

 I waited until the first of the month to see if the September "Sketch for you to try" would work with Mr. Owl and it did, perfectly. I also needed a card for my Boss in a few weeks so I colored him with Copics to match my paper. I just love to do that! (I always choose my paper before I decide what colors to use, how about you?)

 I stamped the glasses in Momento Teal Zeal ink, cut them out with scissors and a craft knife, then sponged some more ink over them to get rid of any stray white paper. I adhered them on with Ranger Matte Medium. (You must get some!) I added various colors of enamel dots, all from different packages, for simple embellishing.

 MME Stella & Rose "Hattie" papers

    What a perfect card for your boss's autumn birthday, Kim! You did nail that sketch and the coloring to match the paper is genius! Those glasses are really the best! Thank you for the tip on the Ranger Matte Medium. I'll check that out for sure. And thank you very much for playing in my second NBUS Challenge!! Hugs, Darnell

    Fabulous guy card. I was hoping that was a digi so I could quickly make a card for my brother's bday next week. There's always express mail.
    TFS and I'm glad you linked up at the NBUS challenge, too.
    Hugs, Debi
