Hi everyone! Hope you're enjoying your weekend. We have had boring old rain so not much fun! I managed to make this quick birthday card for my hubbie whilst he was sleeping off his jetlag. See below for my new Papertrey Ink stash that hubbie brought back from the States on his business trip!
I LOVE this image from MFT- it's so useful for any guy cards. It's new and I think I'm going to be using it alot in future. Best thing is that it comes with a load of funny sentiments (more on that below!) Anyway I coloured with copics and did some paper piecing on the seat and his tshirt. These papers are from my new stash from October Afternoon, they're called Report Card and are great for kids' and male cards. I used a Die-namics die to make the 3 die cut stars in the bottom right corner.
I'd like to enter this into:
Sketch Saturday-sketch
Papertake Weekly-anything goes
Paperplay Challenges- father's day/male card
Alphabet Challenge- father's day/male card
Paper Variety- for the guys
Sentimental Sundays- father's day/male card

Close up of the sentiment. I love this sentiment and it's especially apt for hubbie as playing video games IS his job!!!! My hubbie runs a video games studio, they made Batman: Arkham Asylum for those of you with big video game hubbies and kids!! He's just been in the US to promote the new Batman game he's made! It's SO fab to be able to get such a great sentiment for him, he'll love it!!
Finally here is my new Papertrey Ink stash. Yep, I know I went a bit crazy but it was in the midst of Mum's stroke drama so I was needing some serious retail therapy. Here's a run down on the stamp sets I bought:
Rock On and die
Garden Variety and some of the matching dies
Button Boutique and some of the matching dies and coasters for making the buttons
Take Note and matching notebooks
Tiny Tags and matching die
I also got some cream cardstock and button twine.
Have a fun rest of weekend. Will see you again on Tuesday for my new Anything Goes Challenge post! xx
