This week, Crystal is sharing a super fun card for our product swap!
Today we are using product from www.eyeletoutlet.com and I chose to use the mustache brads and the black bling pearls with the Ai Bummer set #4241. I love how easy it was to create with these products and the pearls were perfect to use on this masculine card, they added wow without being too feminine (smooth black 3mm beads).
To make my card, I wanted to pop up the sign so I first stamped my front image twice and legs once. I colored them with Copics. I colored only the sign on second front image, notice I added W5 dark gray shading on sign. I fussy cut the sign and popped it up over the gray area and if looking from side it will look like a shadow. Now I fussy cut all these (I always go around my stamped images in W1 this makes them appear to pop off the page). I added shimmer pen to the Happy Birthday. It's hard to tell in pics but I think it adds a real wow without the glitter, it's more a shimmer you add over color.
My card uses DCWV Guy Stack designer paper and Stamping Up cardstock. I added a mustache to my guy, he is too handsome now (think Tom Selleck ... lol).
Inside I added my legs on an Action Wobble.

Next I added sentiment to the inside and kept with the theme on the front of my card. Here I used the black pearls and two more mustache brads.
