Sugar Nellies Luca

Hi all

Another boys birthday card - seem to be making a few mens cards recently! Mind you, the Cards for Men challenge blog helps out with inspiration (this weeks theme is birthday) as a lot of mens/boys cards seem to be the same theme and layout - don't know why men can't like primas' LOL!

I have followed the sketch on Sugar Bowl which had to include stars on the card.



I have coloured the Sugar Nellie stamp with distress inks and watercolours.

I am also entering into the following challenges:

Fathers Day card

Here is the card I made for my Dad for Fathers day, he loves fly fishing so this will really appeal to him (I hope). I had wanted the stamps happen its only a game (frustrated golfer) stamp for his card but it was either out of stock everywhere or REALLY pricey for something I would probably only use once.

Anyway the stamp I used is "Best Fishes" by Sugar nellie, the papers were free with a card making magazine, I used Bazzil cardstock and embossed it with the swirls cuttlebug folder.



I decorated the inside with the same free fishes paper and frames 1 nestabilities distressed with Tim Holtz distressing ink in frayed burlap. I have started decorating the inside and find this is a great way of using up all those scrap bits of offcuts!!
