Summer Wild Thing

This card making hobby of mine leaves me with stacks of cards that just sit in a pile, waiting to be used.  I finally gathered them up and put them on display for sale at work.  A co-worker came across a card I made back in 2013, it's the male version of this card (Bob can be found here on my blog). 

She laughed at the card and said her girlfriend's birthday was on Friday and she wished it was a female image instead ....

... it was quite a few years back (6 years in fact) when I purchased this image Betty, along with her partner Bob from Fresh Brewed Designs (sadly, they are no longer open).  I combed through my images and when I found her I created this card.

I am so happy with how it turned out, I even took a chance at creating clouds, a big feat for me!  I'm in love with the papers and in love with this card, I had a lot of fun creating it.

Bingo Challenge at Cards for Men

It's a Bingo Challenge at Cards for Men!  Our sponsor for this challenge is Carole Bryson, an Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator.

This here is Bob from Fresh Brewed Designs.  The first time I saw him I knew he was going to become part of my digi collection.  I colored him up with my copic markers, as you can see by his tan, he doesn't get out much!  It's been a while but I hauled out my sewing machine and did a bit of stitching then tried out some washi tape for the border.  This was my first time using the tape and I'm not sure why I waited so long, it's sooo cool to use!  The papaers are by Cosmo Cricket.

As this is a Bingo Challenge, I used the middle row:  metal (brads), digital image (Bob) and tag.

Die cut Or punch	sentiment	Multifolds
Metal Or charm	Stamped image Or digital images	Tag Or ticket
Dry embossing	Paper piercing	Twine Or Scrappers floss
