How About Some Manly Cards?

Good morning and happy Monday to you! (Now there's an oxymoron.....happy? Monday?) I had a busy productive weekend! I got my winter clothes put away....thank goodness I won't have to wear my wool sweaters in July! I am thrilled to have my Capri's, summer skirts, and lightweight tops out! We had a fabulous home cooked meal Saturday night complete with wine, Dean Martin, and candles. (And yes, the kids ate with us.) : ) Sunday my MIL and I worked on Cort's graduation table favors. We made 55 punched cheerleaders. Yep. Crazy. We punched 110 arm, 110 legs, 55 heads, 55 skirts, 110 pom poms, ..................and pieced it all together. 5 hours later, with sore hands and backs we ended up with 55 adorable cheerleaders! We are going to add them to an altered paper towel tube cut in thirds and filled with candy. I will be sure to take pics when they are all done to share with you!

So on to today's cards! I used the fabulous new Crafty Secret's set called Car Classics. It is so perfect for the men in your life and a blast to color! (Think Father's Day people!) I used my Prisma colored pencils and Gamsol. The paper is by Anna Griffin. I stamped the words on Kraft cardstock by Papertrey Ink in brown Momento ink. The oval was cut using Spellbinders and then airbrushed. I added some twine and a button for a more manly look!
I also added Crystal lacquer to the windshield and clear Dew Drops to the headlights.

I created a second card with the same set and papers. This image was also colored with Prismas. I used the "negative" space in the denim paper to create a dimensional frame. The background was also airbrushed. I love the font used for the sentiment! So RETRO! : )

I added some rhinestone swirls to my glittered star......(yep.....even the men's cards aren't safe from my glitter!)
