For the Guy in Your Life

Hi there & thanks for stopping by!

Today, I have for you a Christmas card that would be great for the guy in your life.  It is a bit masculine, but not so much that you really could give it to anyone. 

I used a great little VW Bus image as my focal point.

I also used beautiful chipboard snowflakes in this card design.  If you have been keeping up with the design team this month you know that we have had a theme of lace.  

I thought that these looked a bit lacey, but were not too feminine.  

You can find links to everything I used at the bottom of this post. 

So, let's jump right into the process; 

Here, I am getting ideas for the layout after tearing out my two collage images...

Getting that first coat of glitter paint on my chipboard snowflakes...

I chose to only add a bit of sparkle to my snowflakes.  

I wanted to keep the brown, woodsy undertone intact. 

Inking all of the edges...

 More ink...

 And, more ink for the inside greeting....

And, here we have the card all assembled with some pretty Christmas papers to add extra layers.  

Some pieces are cut and some are torn.  

I like the different textures this brings. 

I used red cardstock as my card base and the solid red layer under the VW image. 

A little close-up...

 And, here is the inside greeting...

Okay, so there you have a pretty quick, yet stylish card. 

Thanks again for hanging out with me and have a great weekend!
