Fab Friday

To be honest, I'm not feeling so hot today.  I was going to show you a video of my DH's birthday card, but somehow I managed to get sick.  (Bronchitis and an ear infection)  I'm on antibiotics though, so I should be feeling all better soon.

In the meantime I'll show you another masculine card I made before I got sick.   I found a new challenge blog called Fab Friday, and I was able to use their sketch to make this card.

Here is the sketch if you want to play along.  The challenges run for two weeks, so I might just be able to join in more of these ones.  There is still one week left for this one.

Fab Friday 05

I used aluminum foil to create the shiny background.  If you would like to see how I emboss on foil, check out the video in THIS POST. 

This card is being sent to my Uncle Rod who is going through cancer treatment, so I stamped the inside with a sentiment from Word Play.  Even though I made it before I got sick, I'm going to wait until I feel better to address and send it.  Don't want to accidentally send him my germs too. 

What I really wish is that I had a stamp that said "Wishing you a Speedy Recovery".  We need to make that suggestion to SU!   The envelope is stamped with 2 of the images from Affection Collection.

Not sure if you can see it in the pictures, but I used Crystal Affects on the car after I colored it to give it a glossy look.   There is lots of texture and dimension on this card, but I think it will still ship with regular postage.   

Creative Blessings,
