This card is for this week's Teapot Party and is going to John who needs a pick me up and some smiles.
I'm also posting it against the Technique challenge and also the Alpha challenge as both are to do with faux techniques this week.
I had fun creating this and my DH laughed at the joke on the front which I found on the net, so I hope that it brings a smile to John's face too.
After embossing the foil paper, I swiped black inks across it and finally added several waxes. This technique makes some great metal BGs and especially for masculine cards. I like to think of my BG as a metal door into a home.
I wanted to do something to do with architecture as John is an architect and found these quirky Dylusions houses in my stash. Fussy cut them and also the pyramid out of one of my sticker books.
Found John's name in a TH sticker book and decided to personalise the card. Added the paper doll sitting on one of the roofs. Wrote the joke and plonked my panel onto a distressed piece of green CS and done.
TFL. Happy day

Very fun, Jayne. Love the textured foil background, the paper doll, the personalization and the words. He will enjoy it for sure! So sweet of you to send it! Hugz

Just perfect Jayne. This card will definitely be very well received. Love all the masculine elements you have managed to fit into the card. Stay warm over West.

such a wonderful and perfect card for John and Lori!!! Love the TH man sitting by the pyramid and your 'village'. I know they will delight in all the details you constructed, Jayne.
