Gentlemen of all ages

Man and his best friend are captured in these sample by Michelle Bodensteiner. From Aiden with a leash on his dog and sentiments about the importance of one person, to the fun loving card about a missing husband and dog, Michelle has captured the spirit of the men in our lives. My hope is that her creativity will inspire you to make cards for the men and boys in your life. Check out our catalogue "A Pick Me Up" to see many of the images. Thank you Michelle for putting so much of yourself into each and everyone of the projects.

Best Friends

Best friends are had to come by as well as cards for men and boys.  This water colored card is easy and beautiful.  Stamp Best Friends, heat set, and watercolor.  The background is stamped on white with Columns, colored with color pencils on the columns and then watercolored with truquoise.  Layer Best Friends and black card stock on top of background.

Sweet Rides

We have a Car Cube TP300G that makes the best mans card in short order.  Here I layered ochre card stock with black and white card stock that has been staded with a straw stamp pad.  Over this stamp Diamond Bar SE217E in black.  Stamp white card stock with two of the Car Cube blocks, color with color pencils or pens cut out and edge with black ink.  Adhere to straw layer just over the Diamond Bar.  Finish off with stamping Sweet Ride from the Sweet Rides quartet TP307F.  The card is always appreciated and admired.
