I inked my images with the Not Quite Navy Write Marker, stamped off once onto a scrap piece of paper & stamped onto the piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock. I repeated this same step until I was happy with the look of the card. I then stamped 3 images onto scrap Very Vanilla direct onto the card, cut the images out, coloured part of the images with Stampin' Up! Write Markers - So Saffron, Not Quite Navy, Cherry Cobbler & set aside.The piece of Very Vanilla was adhered to the piece of Not Quiet Navy, then So Saffron, to the piece of DSP, Very Vnailla & finally to the Base Card - Soft Suede all with Snail Adhesive.
I completely forgot to add my Silver Brads to the top left hand corner of the card, so I comprised a little. I punched out 6 circles using my Crop-a-Dile, adhered 2 to the top LH corner with Tombow, 1 to the middle of the screwdriver, 1 to the handle of the spanner & 1 to the card where I wanted to place the hammer.
The tools were then adhered to the card - as per the photo with Tombow,with the spanner being my 3rd brad at the top LH corner.
The greeting was stamped in Soft Suede onto Very Vanilla, cut to size & adhered to the card prior to adhering the final Faux Brad it.

Great masculine card. I just love that set but it got retired on this side of the Ocean. I still use it though to make cards to sell at market. Love how you used the stamp to make the background.
ReplyDeleteVicky, this is a great take on the sketch! Well Worn DSP is my paper of choice for lots of male cards, too - it's great, isn't it? Love your clever use of brads, with the spanner hanging from the bottom one. Thanks for having me on the team this month!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it. My Dad is tool mad and this card would suit him to a "T". A Perfect Male card. Pity this set is retiring.
