Hey there! How was everyone's week? I'm sure I'm not the only one looking forward to the weekend! I have to squeeze in a lot of crafting time between now and Sunday, which is Father's Day here. I'm headed to the craft desk now as a matter of fact, but first I wanted to share a card I made for my co-worker's birthday. He turned 30 and I was like "nu-uh, no way!" He looks a decade younger (or maybe my perception is off because I'm a decade older)! Anyhoo...
I just loved J-Cool from Kenny K for this occasion! I colored him with Copics and added glaze to his glasses. He is cut and matted with Classic Ovals Nestabilities (Spellbinders). I also used my Classic Circles Nestabilities and embossed it with a brick textured folder. The city scape (Skyline Border) and numbers (By the Numbers) are both Die-namics dies from My Favorite Things. The corner is Sizzlits Photo Corners 2 die. Papers are Basic Grey - Wanderer. The sketch I've used is Sketchy Colors (#214).
I usually struggle a bit with masculine cards but this one came together pretty easily! And I actually like how it turned out! Check back over the weekend to see what other crafty shenanigans I've been up to!
Markers used: Copics (E04, E15, E17, E19, E25, E27, E31, E33, E34, E70, E74, E79, R89, N0, N2, N4, BG70, BG72, Y28, YG61, YG67).
