The SUO challenge for today was easy – a Birthday card….so I decided to challenge myself with a man-card…..maybe this is the 5th one I’ve made this year so far,,,, bwahahaha……I don’t make a lot of man-cards. And as you can see, even my man card has some flowers thrown in there. 🙂 This is that old technique called Retiform…it was really really popular about 5 years ago….and I have never really gotten over it, I think it’s uber cool, don’t you?? And it’s kind of addictive too, like once I made one, I ended up making about 8 I think…..with different stamps and colors. It’s all done with sponges and sticky notes….and it’s just plain fun! Gonna make this one in my classes this month….but I think I’m gonna put different stamps out on the table and let them have at it……cuz it’s something that you can go in so many different directions with….this is a two color one, but most of the time I use 3 colors. This is soft sky and brown sugar, a swell combination. 🙂 Hope you like it, take a good, long, hard look at it, cuz it will be MONTHS before another man-card turns up on my blog, I guarantee it! Happy Tuesday everyone! Until next time………Karen

August 17, 2013I struggle a bit with man cards. But get lots of practice. The men out number the women in our family about 6 to 1 !!!! Your card is fabulous. I love the color combo, too.
