Here Come the Boys

Here The Come Boys a challenge group for male cards are asking for me personally a very difficult challenge 

- NO STAMPS - . I have made this card for a friend of mine who needs certain cards for her business. The whale has been cut from an A3 sheet of sea creatures, along with the bubbles. I used an A3 sheet of wax type paper, tore it into strips to create the waves in the green and blue shades. The greeting has been computer created, punched out with a die. The addition of a big googly eye helped the whale come alive. Thanks for the chance to show this card, even though I rarely make a card without a stamp. 

Man at Work

 

Am I odd? I do sympathise with those who seem to struggle making men's cards. Maybe because I being female are in the minority in our family, we few ladies and girls are surrounded by an army of men and boys.

so, I have to like making men's/ boys cards, I am so pleased I have found  two challenge blogs strictly for male cards. Over at Here Comes the Boys this week is a sketch and at Cards for Men their theme is Men At Work, so I have combined the challenges in one card. Here is the sketch.................

The male image is from the Flippen men series which I thought suited this design, for I see him as beginning to add a shelf to the wall, but of course being a man he is thinking about it with a pint in his hand.  All coloured with Promarkers.
