Good Morning! Did you all know it's Oldie But Goodie Thursday at Catch The Bug?! We love Oldie But Goodie Thursdays, since it's a chance to show off the older images that Bugaboo Stamps has to offer and remind us all, again, how cute they are! You can check out all the Oldie But Goodie creations from the talented design team at Catch The Bug! Go see all the creative genius at work!
Today I have a new card to show you. We all know masculine cards can be tough to make, so I'm always happy when I come up with one that seems to come together fairly quickly. This one just seemed to come to me, easily and I'm really happy with it! Perfect for a male birthday!
My card uses the image and sentiment set, Gus Birthday - Over The Hill, from Bugaboo stamps, colored with Promarkers, (available in the Simon Says Stamp, store!). I used three different gambling theme papers that were all scraps from my stash. The left upper and left lower corners of the card are decorated with a strip of black and white polka dot washi tape. I used three buttons (2 blue and 1 red) threaded with baker's twine to embellish two corners of the image and bring out the colors in the image. Gus has had wiggly eyes added to him, to give that extra touch of whimsy! For my card layout, I've used the sketch at Sketch N Stash.
