Couple of cards for the men

 Today I made a couple of cards for the men well I say men I suppose they could be used for anyone but I had the men in mind when I made them.

I took a nice 6 x 6 black base card and matted it with some grey striped paper then I took my new John next door dies and die cut all three square dies bottom mat black straight edge then a white card with both the stitched edge die and the I will call it dotted edge ( the little punch holes) This piece I raised with foam tape. Then I used double sided tape to adhere this to the card. I then stamped a Happy Birthday and die cut it my banner die and used foam pads behind.

For my second card I have changed to an A6 base card and used a dark blue colour card stock and striped paper. I then stamped my bike image with black ink and die cut this with an oval stitched edge die and then took a bigger plain oval and die cut it out in the dark blue. I then stamped my sentiment and cut this with a trimmer and then matted it on the dark blue card again. Both the image and sentiment are raised with foam pads and the taped and adhered to the card.
