For A Boy at PCJ

Evening All. Had a busy day today as I started a new baby group with baby Emily and lot’s of boring chores to get done. So while tea is cooking I thought I would pop on and blog my card for the new challenge over at Paper Crafting Journey. Our theme this fortnight is…

For a Boy

Masculine cards can be a little tricky, but I’ve used the fantastic Frankie Knuckles from Kenny K to make a Birthday Card for my Niece’s Boyfriend. And I’m pleased with it (despite it’s lack of all thinks pretty, pink and sparkly!)…

I’ve coloured the image with my ProMarkers and as it’s a masculine card I’ve laid off the embellishments and just used a few stars to decorate…

The small wooden letters have been coloured to match with a ProMarker and I used a square punch to add the notches on the corner of the image.

Supplies:

• Image: Frankie Knuckles from Kenny K 
• Colouring Medium: ProMarkers
• DP: MME ‘On the Bright Side –One’ 6x6 paper pad
• Card: Joanna Sheen Elegance Ice White 300gsm and black, red and grey card from stash
• Dies & Punches: All Occasion Word Dies ‘Happy’ and ‘Birthday’, Sizzix Star Framelits and an X-Cut 1” Square Punch
• Embellishments: Stickles ‘Gunmetal’ and ‘Black’, Studio Calico Wood Letters and gems
