Matey!

July 1, 2016

Hi friends!!

This month we’re having an ALL HERO month and we are so excited to be able to offer a prize for one lucky participant in our challenge this month!

 

For my card, I wanted to make something funny and cute, but still male-appropriate.
I took my anchor stamp, and carefully stamped it on a diagonal, using Navy ink, and then mounted that panel onto some dark blue textured cardstock, on an angle and trimmed off the edges.

For the sentiment I took the “you mean so much to me” and placed it on my acrylic block, then positioned the letters for MATEY so that they spaced across the rest of the sentiment. Starting from the T in the middle was helpful to ensure even spacing (that’s my top tip for you today :))

I heat embossed the sentiment in white Hero Arts embossing powder and adhered that to the card.

That’s it! A fun, easy, cute-but-not-too-cute card for a boy/man in your life.

We hope you’ll join us for our challenge this month and create something masculine! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

You have until July 29th 5pm to enter via the linky tool below.

Please remember to link back to us in your entry post, and use the graphic above too!

See you again soon!

      I need to have a few of these in my stash since they are harder to make and at the last minute definitely a challenge.
