SOS: Yo, dude!

This week at Shopping Our Stash, Chris is our hostess and she is encouraging us to use our stashed items to create a card for the dudes in our lives! 

Here's mine for my main dude:


Supplies:

(I confess: I made this very last-minute-- I had my challenges mixed up.  Whoops. I have some more male-ish stash that I'd like to use up so I plan to add more later in the week!  For now, this is the stash I used...)

  • Some old 110lb. paper (I think it is my last sheet)
  • I used all my letter stamps that I generally skip past, but in the interest of using my stash, I used them, not minding the rough edges showing-- makes it look grungy and more manly, don't you agree?  Ha.
  • I inked the letters with Distress Embossing Ink and heat embossed with Recollections EP in black
  • The green paper was a scrap in my scrap box.  It's the LIME in my husband's drink!
  • I sketched the glass with the ice cubes with a Pitt pen that is probably 2-3 years old.  I went over the ice lines with a grey Spectrum Noir marker and decided to use some Pebeo glitter relief liner to accent the ice.
Hope it's not too cheezy for you guys-- for AMAZING inspiration for dude cards, go see my teammates over at Shopping Our Stash!  They rock.


See you over there!
