I am so sorry I am two days late with this. I got my dates muddled up and forgot.
Our challenge at Lexi’s Creations this fortnight is Father’s Day or a special male birthday. You can produce anything you like, it doesn’t have to be a card, as long as it fits the theme.
My card was created for a special friend and as soon as I saw the Mo Manning image Johann I thought of my friend, as apart from a straggly beard, which I coloured in, it looked very like him!
I don’t remember where my stripey paper comes from, as it was just loose in a box of odds and sods. The separate panel to the left of the image though is a piece of plain white cardstock run through an embossalicious folder, whichI had pre-inked with green and then I went over the areas raised by the embossing with orange DI.
I made the piece behind Johann with various DIs and an inkduster. Johann is coloured in with my promarkers. The guitar is a keyring, which was loosely attached so it could be removed for a small gift.
I had a different idea in mind before I ended up with this, and I am still not sure which one I like best
What do you think? I did eventually end up with the one on the easel at the top of this post.
I am entering this into:-

I really like the top one although the other two work well. The dark matting and the offset image are quite striking. I love the idea of the guitar key ring...so fun. beautiful background behind the man and the embossed panel gives lovely texture to the card. Thanks for joining our Father's Day/Masculine card challenge at Craft Your Passion. I hope we see you again soon.
