Yay!! The first masculine card I've made that I really truly like! Uses one of those super cute Riley images Sparkle sent me. This is going to be for my BIL for Father's Day. Now the problem is this.... I need to make a card that is at least as awesome if not more so for my hubby because really, you can't give your hubby's brother a card better than you give him; but I can't find any fun images for him! Paul is a total gamer guy. He's not into sports, can't cook let alone grill (lol), not really outdoorsy, he's a classic geek ^_~ My geek! Anyway, he's either at a desk working, on a computer, or playing the 360. He helps out lots with the girls so something like that might work except that I already know I'm going to have them make a card for him. And I want something special from me since I haven't done something really nice for Father's day in a while and I'm just completely at a loss at what to do now for his card! Him and his dad are really hard to make cards for because they are not regular guy guys. Leave a comment with a suggestion ^_~ I'd love to hear any ideas or if you've seen a cute gamer guy/office guy stamp around let me know!! Now for the card stats : CTMH papers and embellies, Riley colored with CTMH markers and highlighted with my white gel pen. Colors are indian corn blue, outdoor denim, barn red, and cranberry.
Wow...what a super cute Riley card!!! I love your coloring and the outlining with the white gel pen!!!
ReplyDeleteYour Riley cards are so adorable! You color so great! You've got mad skills. :) I got your package today! Thanks for the goodies! I can't wait to play with them!

I love how you used the white gel pen. The hat is too cute. I have this Riley. Hee Hee. Thanks for the inspiration! Love all your work!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this card! I am going to have to get some Riley's! I haven't even had a chance to play with the ones Sparkle sent yet. All the guys in my family (except my hubby) fish, so this one's a must. Love the colors and papers.
ReplyDeleteWe did an alphabet book for dh that was fun. I used coasters for the cover and did a page for each letter and held it together with a jump ring. The boys helped me come up with words for each letter--it was great. Poor guy has so many mini-albums I've made, he's running out of space--LOL! I'm trying to think of something good too. His b-day and Father's Day are both June, so it's a double whammie.
awesome card! I love how you did the "water"
