For the Boys (men)


I saw the sketch on Mojo Monday and decided it would with Mr Dunderton from Dr Digi but I had made a bit of a mistake with the colours and manged to salvage the image as well as the card he was on.
So I found some new papers that worked a bit better from Doodlebug. The added button had to be flipped over cos it looked better away from the football.
Lucky for me a parcel from Simon Says Stamps arrived and it so happened to have the Happy Retirement stamp in it from Penny Black. Since its a mans card that was pretty much it.
But I still have the card I salvage with out an image and so instead of being binned I quickly stamped in the colour of card mats the swirly car from Penny Black. Had to use a stamp a jig to get the sentiment to fit, there was a tricky moment when I realised the button was stuck down but if it did pull the paper its hidden by the image mat.

So for today two cards for the price on one.

Two fabulous cards, Debby! I love how you paper pieced Mr Dunderton on your first card and that you used bright, fun colors and patterns...so cute!
On your 2nd card, the antique car is really stunning, and I love the patterns and color combo! Great application of the sentiment on both cards, too!

These masculine designs are both wonderful, Debby! I think the first one is a fun version of a retirement card, love the patterns and colors and image. I also like the vintage look of your second card.
