I'm working on revitalizing my stash of birthday cards which has been seriously depleted over the last couple of months so you'll see a few more birthday cards in my upcoming posts. This one I did for my Guest Designer spot at Cardz 4 Guys this month. All cards must be masculine and this week the theme is "Make Your Mark."
You can 'make your mark' by hand drawing doodles or faux stitching or using gel pens -- nearly anything which creates a human-made mark. I've done faux stitching and used a sparkle pen on each of the keys and the clock hands, although that's hard to see in the photo.
The background on the images (the clock is a separate image, fussy cut and overlaid onto the keys) is colored with chalks. The mat behind the image is burlap paper and the other two dp came from stacks by Gina K. The twine has been in my stash for a long time but originally came from The Twinery.
Challenges:
AAA Cards
Brown Sugar
Crafts Galore Encore
Jo's Scrap Shack
Outlawz Friday
Robyn's Fetish
Sassy Studio
Scrap It Girl
Scrapper's Delights
Scrappy Hands
Scribble & Scrap
Send a Smile 4 Kids
Sister Act
I hope we're going to see you playing in the challenge this week at Cardz for Guys. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Super card! I love the idea of using two shades of twine together, it picks up the colours in the card perfectly
