"Guy" Card Fix for This Week

     Yep, I'm doing another masculine card with a Dude Time Doodles digi and this week they're doing something different.  They have a Bingo challenge and, since I love Bingo/Tic Tac Toe, I had to play in this one!  I used the first vertical row: Brads, Eyelets & an Easel card.  The image is Ernie Carpenter and, being a typical male, he's both proud and protective of his toys!   Cards for Men says we should do a card about 'Boys and their Toys.'  I think this one fits since "boys" never outgrow their toys -- they just become men with more expensive toys.  lol

Sketch is from Stella Says Sketch.

     I colored Ernie with ProMarkers, fussy cut him, printed and distressed the sentiment, and matted them together onto blue and then black CS.  I added sparkle to the hammer and nails (though it's very difficult to see it in the photo).  The striped paper is from DCWV Linen Closet stack.  The turquoise CS is linen textured and I distressed it by sanding it.  I added the eyelets before adhering the striped panels to the card front.  The gingham ribbon bow became the perfect stop for the easel to stand.  Everything on this card, from dp and CS to the brads and eyelets were taken from my stash, and I hate to tell you that I'm using up eyelets and brads that I've had more than 3 years!  Oh, well, if I keep using them, I'll finally be able to go buy some more.  :-D

     OK, this is the second (and last) post today.  Hopefully, I'll have another to share over the weekend although I admit that I'm being dragged to a friend's house for the playoff game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants.  I'm not a fan of either team, but SF is somewhat "local" and they've had such a tough decade that everyone I know is thrilled they made all the playoff games so far, and are saying mantras that they get to the Superbowl.  OK, my turn to say, "Go, 49ers" -- did I sound like I meant it?  :-D  Happy Stamping.  NanaConnie
