Play A Saw

Good morning all, here I am again with another little card.

I had a lot of fun putting this one together.

 

This one was made for my hubby on our wedding anniversary!

The reason behind this odd card is that we went to a party a while back & someone 

actually did play a saw! Yep, the kind you get from hardware stores!

It was incredible! 

We were both stunned. I'd never have believed what a wonderful a 

tune you could produce from a basic saw!

The watch/clock embossed panel was wiped over with gilding wax.

The clippings are from a cider bottle label! Hubby does love a cider!

The lace & buttons are from my stash.

The little sentiment tags are LOTV

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like my card!

Edited to add:- I was contacted via twitter by a lady who makes the most

beautiful music playing a saw. 

If you have a minute, you can watch her here

I’d like to enter this card in the current challenge at

Good Morning all,

It's Wednesday & that means it's time for a fab new challenge over at 

Dude Time Doodles!

This week we have a really fun challenge for you!

First of all here's my card!

The Challenge we have for you is Bingo!

I chose the diagonal, twine,step card,brads.

The image is Ted TightEnd

On the football field, he's a bit of a scary character but off the field, 

he's a real pussycat!

I coloured him up with promarkers & fussy cut him out,

before mounting him on to the card with foam squares for dimension.

The card base was made using an A4 sheet of cardstock.

I used a Pop Out Step Card Template from 

Debbie Lauder over at Craftystash

It's so simple to use & saved on waste too, as there is an elements sheet included!

The papers I have used were a freebie download by Shabby Princess

I think they are fantastic & they were just what I wanted for this card!

I printed the striped paper directly on to the card stock & printed 

the template on the reverse.

I cut it out using a craft knife & ruler then embossed the fold lines 

with an embossing tool & ruler.

I added the sentiment to the panels in my graphics programme. 

The font I have used is called Collegiate & you can download it free from here!

I distressed all of the panels with a red inkpad before assembling the 

card & added twine & brads from my stash.

I have to say I was really happy with the way this one turned out!

I hope you like him too! Thanks so much for stopping by!
