Zebra and Foal

Well here I am yet again with another card for a male, having 8 grandsons and 3sons, I am starting to run out of ideas for manly cards.  I thought this card would be quite suitable!

The Zebra and Foal are a wonderful digital image from Delicious Doodles.  My photo is a little wonky, but the other photos turned out very dark, so decided to use this one.  I cut out the image and the grassy area at the bottom and added it to a piece of cardstock from DCWV , their Safari Chic Stack. I colored the grass with copics.  The tree I stamped with Memories, Licorice ink.  The tree is a stamp from Stampers Anonymous, Tim Holtz Collection.  I stamped it twice to make it taller.

I had another small Zebra stamp from Class Act which I used on the inside of the card,  The die cut I used fit in perfectly between the dots.  The die was part of a set from Nellie's Multi Frames.  I used  the same dotted paper from Lost & Found on the right side waiting for a sentiment.

Wonderful weather we are having here right now, warm, but not too hot, but I guess we could use some rain for the gardens and grass.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Golfing is Fun

Well here I am with another card for a male.  Last week I went to a party with three cards for my lady friends, and I can't believe I did not think to take a picture of any of them!  Another grandson is having a birthday and he will be 18.  He received new golf clubs for his birthday from his parents last week, and I think he has been out golfing with them every day since.

The main image is from the internet Clip Art.  The golf bag is a stamp made in the US but with no company name. Stamped with Tea Dye Distress Ink.  The Sentiment is a freebie image from Any Old Craft.  The ribbon and cardstock are from my stash.  It did not take long to make, but I think he will like it!

Teenage Golfers

I seem to be making a lot of cards for men lately.  I have two grandsons having birthdays next week,  One will be l7 and the other l9.  I know that they both like to golf, even though they don't get out to do it too often.  So I decided I would make them both the same card. I did change them up slightly with colors and embellishments.

Both cards are colored with copics.  The image is from Just Inklined.  I added a few clouds to the sky, the sentiment stamp is from Inkadinkadoo.  The embellishments and mesh are from my stash - could not find two pieces the same.
