Cards for Men Challenge 7 - Embossing

It's time for a brand new challenge at Cards for Men and we have a fab theme for you chosen by my lovely teamie Alison - 'Embossing' (n.b. card must be for a male).

Our sponsor this time is the fab online store Paper Pretties and they are giving one lucky winner this gorgeous clear stamp set...

Paper Pretties has this to say: "Paper Pretties is a full service online crafting store. We have many exclusive stamp lines, from elegant to whimsical, sweet to clever, there is something for every stamper on our Prettie Boutique! In case you haven't heard yet, Paper Pretties has a BRAND NEW owner, Heather Lee-Reppen. Now located in Madison, WI, we are pleased to offer you amazing customer service, faster and cheaper shipping and a wide variety of stamping 'must have' products to go along with all of our fun new stamps!!! All orders are shipped within 24 hours."

Please pop over to the CFM challenge blog to check out the details of our new challenge. As always the DT have made some wonderful cards, please do pop across and have a peek and have a go at the challenge while you're there. So onto my DT card, I used a gorgeously cute digi image from Paper Pretties called Bathtime Cooper, he was a dream to colour and I love the expression on his little face. I've used a Tim Holtz embossing folder called Burlap for the embossing on my card. Think it works quite well with the wood of the bathtub in the image. Do you like my sentiment - can you tell I came up with that myself ;-)

Image - Bathtime Cooper digi from Paper Pretties coloured with Promarkers
Sentiment - generated on pc
Papers - 6x6 Paperkit: Fruhlingserwachen from Whiff of Joy
Ticket - Tim Holtz from Crafty Emma's Store
Cardstock - Bazzill kraft

    Fabulous card Sarah! I too love the expression on his face - I sometimes find images are spoilt by a harsh face this one is delightful xx

    P S the sentiment is very clever - love it.
