Man Flu - Challenge 24

 

Challenge 24 - Anything Goes over on Cards For Men Challenge Blog

 

This is my entry into challenge 24.  The image is a digi stamp from

our sponsor Dr. Digi's House of Stamps 'Man Flu'

 

 

The image has been coloured using promarkers and cut

using an Xcut Stamp Die.  Edges distressed with yellow ink

and backed onto Forever Friends patterned papers.

 

Do have a go at this challenge as you are not restricted to any one theme.

with a sense of humour. We're not your average

but it'll be holding a bloody big chainsaw!

Prize: 4 digital images

 

My DT card for the latest Cards for Men Challenge

is Anime Soccer Digi Stamp from Kenny K.

 

I have mat and layered several backing sheets from my

craft stash, once all the edges have been inked, so no white

edges show.  I have also used a Dufex ribbon of

footballs to break up the lines.

 

 

 

 

The image itself has been coloured with watercolour

pencils, the image cut out and the corners punched

with a Woodware invert corner punch and distress

inked the edges to make the image stand out.

 

I'm sure you're all familiar with the wonderful work of Kenny K's Shop but what about the man (and woman) behind those wonderful creations. Take a look here to see their journey, http://www.kennykdownloads.com/about-kenny-and-elena.php
