One for the men

The Head to Head Challenge on the Dragons Lair Designs Facebook page uses a definitions set of papers and embellishments. Dragons Lair Designs produce some wonderful kits for scrapbooking but don't feel they are not for you if you are a cardmaker, they work just as well for cards as they do for scrapbook pages.

Materials used: SAM_2670(watermarked)
Dragons Lair Designs - Definitions: Happy Themed 
Dapper Gentleman, Ticket Stub and Greating stamps from a set free with Creative Stamping Magazine
Black paper
White 15cm square card blank
Printer card
Polychromo pencils
Archival Sepia ink pad
Distress ink pads - Old Paper, Vintage Photo, Tea Dye
Blending Tool

Having printed out the background paper  and the Fun tag from the Definitions Kit I cut it to size and then stamped the man on using Sepia ink. I coloured him with Polychromo pencils.

I made up the ticket pocket and ticket stubs from snippets of white card and used the distress inks to age them. I made up the pocket, folding it in halves and sticking the sides together before adding the tab and attaching to the front of the card.

The main panel is matted on black card and the edges of the card blank have been distressed to  match the tickets and pockets.

A growing number of people have started sending cinema vouchers as presents so I designed this card with that in mind. I did not have a voucher so I wrote a 'pledge of a film of your choice' on the back of one of the tickets.

There is still time to enter the current Head to Head Challenge at Dragons Lair so why not hop over and have a look. There are a lot of other fun challenges going on, both on the Facebook page and on the website. I have put all the links in below.

 

Thanks for dropping in. Take care.

    1) Love the wonderful scenic new header. (2)I would not have had a clue as to how to use this masculine design. You've aced it! And what a delightful way to add in the movie tickets. Just a brilliantly designed card and superb use of the digi design too! Well done. Hope your Easter was a happy day, spent with those you love best. TFS & Hugs
