Cards for Men - Challenge 16 - "Clean and Simple"

Good Morning Everyone, this card is being scheduled due to the fact that my grandsons have just left to spend a week with their other grandparents and Im trying to get my craft room back to normal again, theyve been sleeping in the room I use, which actually is our second bedroom. Anyway hopefully I will be back commenting within a day or two so I hope you will be a little patient with me. Todays Challenge for Cards for Men, is themed "Clean and Simple" and we are being sponsered by:-

They have kindly offered as a prize a Voucher for £10 to spend in their webshop and this is what they say about themselves:-

And here is my card for this fortnights Challenge:-
I have used a Stampin Up image for my card and stamped it onto white card before colouring it with my copic and tria pens afterwards Ive used Nestabilitie Die No.1 to cut it out and then used the die again to create the mount for it. The sentiment is one of the Magnolia ones and felt it went well with the image, this was mounted on a piece of the same create card as the mount and first mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with one mount of cream pearlescent card that Ive put through my Grand Calibur with a swirl embossing sheet, then on top I have positioned my image in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the right handside. As the Challenge is Clean and Simple I felt this was exactly the right sort of card to create.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pop over to the Cards for Men Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for you and Im sure it will inspire you to take part in this our 16th Challenge "Clean and Simple".

    Hi Shirley

    Lovely to hear from you.

    I have been thinking of you spending time with your grandchildren and wondering about the craft withdrawal symptoms.

    You will enjoy having a little play again whilst the lads are away for a week.

    You have used a great image and sentiment on this one Shirley .. .. and the embossed background looks lovely.

    Have fun!

    Love Jules xx

    This is a very pretty card Shirley, unfortunately the Ippity challenges do require the use of Unity and/or Ippity stamps on them to qualify for our challenge and Prizes. I do hope you will play again soon with some Ippity stamps.
