Tatty Ted 60th Birthday Card - Male

Hello Peeps

 

What a great couple of weeks we have had weather-wise!!  I am not a fan of the heat but even I could get used to this. 

 

There hasn't been much done in the way of crafting.  I have made a few baby blankets for one of the family which was a nice change and reminded me that you don't actually forget things even when you don't do them for a while.  I was also asked to do a 60th card for a man, and as you will know if you keep tags on my blog, men's cards are another thing that I am not that confident with so it did take me a while to think of something to do.  Tatty Ted came to my rescue and I was happy with the outcome.

 

For this card I used a round 8x8 card blank which is alot different from the usual square that I have favoured lately.

 

I inked around the edges of each of the circles with Tatty Ted blue ink and lemon coloured ink picked out from the topper.  I added gems, with 3D glue gel.  The topper and the sentiment where added using foam tape just to add some dimension.

 

I always show the insert and how I aim to make it as decorative as the front of the card and match in perfectly but I never show how I sign them as my own creations.  I still use my wee stamp and usually add the brand of topper also, so in this case something similar to the Tatty Ted trademark, on Boofle cards I use the Boofle trademark.  Simple finishing touches that make a little difference to the finished product.

Well I am off to pick some strawberries and water the garden.  Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend and enjoy the week ahead.

 

Happy Crafting!!
