Masculine Need for Speed

Here is one of the cards we made in the Masculine Cards class yesterday.  Wendy Weixler's card gave me the idea, but somehow I didn't think flowers would be appropriate for a guy card. And what guy wouldn't like a zoomy, sporty, fast car for his birthday MUCH more than flowers?

I've used this image several times, and always colored it, but I think the black and white just somehow seemed right in this instance.

More Masculinity

Day 3 of my month of gratitude - I am so thankful for the new friends I have met through stamping! What a wonderful, funny, genuinely nice bunch of people, who all share the same passion for creating with bits of paper, rubber and ink!

This is another card we made in the Masculine Cards class. Originally, I had planned for the greeting to say "Wish BIG", since it would make a great card for a teenage boy. Alas, my stamp had a defect (which is quickly being remedied by Stampin' Up!), so was the greeting we used instead. You probably can't see it, but the windshield and headlights are shined up with Crystal Effects.

And yeah, I know my brads are crooked. I couldn't find my Mat Pack when I was placing the brads. Oh well....I believe the lesson there is to become more organized!
