The sentiment is one I created on my computer and printed it and cut it out with a circle Nestabilitie die and used a larger one with some red card for the mount.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and for my first mount Ive used again more of the same red card, and the papers are from Papermanias "Mans World" paper pack, the first paper is a green background with soccer balls on and for the second and third mount Ive used a check pattern and a sentiment paper.

Ive printed the image onto white card then used my copic's to colour it, and cut it out with the Nestabilitie Rectangle Die, and then used a larger one for the mount. I then used a pen to create a stitched edge on it. The sentiment was created on the computer and printed out and mounted in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 7"x 5" white card with a first mount of red card, the papers I have used are from the Papermania "For Men" paper set, the first one being a red patterned paper then on top is a check on. I then positioned my mounted in the centre and the sentiment below. To finish of Ive used three red buttons with some bakers twine threaded through the holes and tied in a knot.

Welcome to Digital Delights, a magical place filled with my little digi creations from all walks of life. We have a wide range of digital stamps which are delivered straight to your email 24/7!!

We were lucky enough to be given several images to play with and I chose this one for my card.

His name is "Count Batula" and I thought he was just ideal to create yet another family Halloween card, Ive printed him onto white card before colouring him with my copic and tria pens, afterwards I used the Nestabilitie Pumpkin Die to cut him out, then drew around the die to create the mount for him out of orange card. The sentiment is one from my stash thats been treated in the same way.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of orange card and one two papers from Donna's Bearlymine Designs "Halloween" Cd & digi papers, the first one is dark blue and black background with black bats all over it, on top is a orange paper with witch hats and bats on thats been cut into a 5" square and with my bat border and corner punches I have punched all around it, then placed it in the middle of the first mount. The mounted image was then placed in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the right hand side, and I also punched out another pumpkin and with some stickles I have run it along the top of both. I then for my final flourish stuck some bat charms in several places at the top of my card and a pumpkin at the bottom next to the other two.

Cards for Men - Challenge 10 - "Someone Special"

Good Morning everyone, yet another fortnight has gone by and here we are at our tenth Challenge and my fellow team member Sarah of http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/ has chosen the theme of "Someone Special" and this time we are being sponsered by Digital Delights.

Welcome to Digital Delights, a magical place filled with my little digi creations from all walks of life. We have a wide range of digital stamps which are delivered straight to your email 24/7!! http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/

And here is my card for this Challenge:-

As team member we were given several images to play with and I chose this Teddy Bear one for my card, and have printed him onto white card then used my copic and tria pens to colour him, then I used a circle die from Nestabilities to cut him out and a larger one for the mount, I also used some glossy accents for the balloons. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as my image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with several papers from two Paper stacks Wild Roses for Men, and the Forever Friends, they went together so well that I felt they were the best choice. The first one is a white base with brown and blue checks on, the second is a blue check and the third a stripe, then for the last one is a brown and white check, a little different from the usual one. On top of this I positioned my mounted image with the sentiment at the bottom on the right. To finish of I have used three blue buttons of different sizes and some bakers twist threaded through the holes and knotted, these were stuck down the right hand side of my card at the top.
Now youve seen my card I do hope that you will pop across to Cards for Men Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talent Team Members have created for you, and hopefully it will inspire you to take part in this fortnights challenge.
