I am pleased to announce the completion of another DCM challenge!
This time, we were set a mini challenge to create a card with a man in mind. It was a broad challenge, because we weren't confined to a certain age group or occasion.
Luckily for me, I have a little boys birthday coming up, so I thought it would be a good chance to combine the two-again!
So, using 4 small square blanks, I attached them together to make an accordian stlye card blank. I rounded the corners, and then cut 6 panels from a sheet of 'boy themed' paper, which I think is from a DCWV paper stack.
2 panels went onto either end panel, and the other 4 panels were mounted inside using DS tape. I attached a blue and white ribbon across both the front and back panels so the card can be tied up. On top of the ribbon, I mounted 3 blue gems and 2 dinky pale blue buttons. Inside I used the letters 'Birthday' from the Doodlebug 'Birthday Boy' cardstock sticker sheet. I mounted them onto white paper before cutting them out and arranging them across the inside panels. I then took the 'boy' sticker, from the same sheet, and mounted it onto a green acrylic tag. I popped a blue brad through the hole at the top of the tag, and then folded a matching piece of ribbon into a loop and placed it onto the bottom right hand corner of the card. I put the tag on top of the ribbon....and that was that!
Very quick and easy for those of us who need a card in a hurry!
