HSC14: Masculine Cards

Sometimes a challenge is challenging, sometimes it is helpful. Vicki (Summerthyme studios) asked members of the design team to create a card with a masculine theme. It was my dad's birthday, so I decided to make a Dad card.

I started with a celery green textured card base from DCWV. I sewed on a strip of brocade blue with a running stitch. I used a fun piece of pattern paper (DCWV - I think) from my stash. I thought they looked like a fun plaid....kind of "golfy". I used a small strip of the leftover patterned paper to stamp Riley on. I trimmed out the "pants". I stamped Riley {golf Riley} again on whisper white. I used copics to color in Riley and the grass. I used the blue to create the sky. The golf ball is one of the Target pearls which I covered with white gel pen. The main image is punched with a nestability circle and then the brocade mat is also cut with a larger nestability circle. I ran that through the swiss dots embossing folder. Reminded me of a mini-golf ball (which is more along my alley). I attached the main image with dimensionals. Finally, the sentiments are from Papertrey ink (Pond life and Birthday basics), stamped in black archival.

Did I meet the challenge?
