For today's LSC, we were to make a masculine card. No frills, no bling, no flowers. I had the perfect card yesterday. Oh well, I made another using a different elephant image from the same set as yesterday. All images are FireCracker Designs.
I stamped the elephant three times on three colors of c/s w/ the chocolate ink. Just a hint of shading and highlighting was added w/ markers and a white gel pen. They were cut out and attached w/ foam tape to a rust colored panel. The rust panel was punched all around the edge w/ a border punch which has a double row of tiny holes. I used a needle & thread to add the stitching using these holes. The rust layer is attached to dp, another rust layer then a tan card.
The sentiment was punched w/ a tag punch and a attached to rust layer trimmed to fit. The sun medallion was assembled from 3 sizes of the same image stamped on three colors of c/s and layered together. One part of the dp was cut out and attached to upper right for a non-girly embellishment.
Thanks so much for looking!My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them
