Hey crafty friends. Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here today and I’m sharing what is supposed to be a masculine card for a teenage boy. I struggle so much with cards for guys and I’m not really all that psyched about this one, but it wasn’t terrible, so I thought I’d share it anyway. We are all our own worst critics, right? Anyway, I used some really cool dies on this card from Cheery Lynn Designs.
I pulled out my stash of Distress Ink and Distress Oxide Ink papers to find a nice brown for the owl. I backed the paper with Stick It adhesive and cut it out. I also added some wiggle eyes for fun. I also used part of the Ivy Corner Flourish as a place for my owl to sit.
Cheery Lynn Dies used:
I stamped the birthday sentiment and then cut it out with the oval dies. I wrapped some burlap string around the top of the card and mounted the sentiment over that. I also added some burlap string loops to the top of the sentiment. I wanted to continue the steampunk type theme so I also added some gear embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon to finish it off.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. For more information on the other products used, please visit my Make Time to Craft Blog.
