Good morning everyone. It is Friday again and that means it is time for another challenge from Dare U 2 Digi Stamp. This week’s theme is: One for the boys/men. A real challenge for most people and certainly for me! :) I really love all the cute stamps and glitter, ribbons and pink. All kinds of stuff that you most of the time can’t use very well on a card for a boy or men. The timing of this challenge was perfect! My brother’s birthday is in a couple of weeks and now I already have a card for him! ;) This meerkat was perfect for his card, because he looks just like my brother: Always a smile and big friendly eyes. The meerkat is one of the fantastic digi stamps from my teammate Sandra Dry: Please take a look at her wonderful blog with digi stamps, she has been really busy with drawing some new images and she will post them soon! This time I used a red card as my base and I used some real scrap paper on my card! :) Unfortunately I don’t know what paper it is. The blue strip is the backside from a jeans scrap paper that I actually wanted to use, but when it was lying on my card, it didn’t look good, so I used the dark blue back. I colored the meerkat with koh-i-noor pencils. The eyes were colored with a black glaze pen. I did some faux stitching on the edges of the image. The image was mounted on a strip of red paper that I folded double. When you lift the image, the sentiment will become visible. I used my quickutz to cut two buttons out of the red paper and added a thread to them. I used foam tape to mount them on my card.
IMAGE: Meerkat youngster from Sandra Dry designs. CS: Red papicolor cs, scrap papers from stash. ACCESSORIES: Koh-i-noor pencils, Buttons from quickutz, Dark blue stabilo fineliner, black glaze pen.

Erg leuke kaart! En een grappige stempel :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic card xx
ReplyDeleteI love your card, it's beautiful x
ReplyDeleteLarissa, denk je dat je broer blij is als je zegt dat hij hierop lijkt? Dat neemt niet weg dat ik het een heel aandoenlijk plaatje vind en als je broer net zo lief is, mag jij niet klagen. Ook een leuk idee om de tekst onder het plaatje te verstoppen.

Fantastic card Larissa, your Brother is going to love it and I think it's so sweet what you said about him and how the image reminds you of him. Wonderful how you have the sentiment under the image to lift up, it's a lovely detail. Love the colour scheme too. Hugs Chris x

Have enjoyed looking at all your wonderful new cards too xx
Great masculine card! I thought maybe this little guy was a gopher; I have only seen a meerkat on a t.v. show; cute!
