I struggle with 'cards for chaps' at the best of times and when I needed a 'get well' card for a friend's husband it was a double-struggle here! He's just had major surgery and the card is another one to be sent from our old school association - but what to do? I pondered over a very simple card just using a get well sentiment and then a little bit of an idea came to me - 'little' in the shape of this young man:
Yup, it's another Lily of the Valley 'never been used' stamp - called Karate Kid.
I used:
- 6" x 6" square white card stock
- LOTV ' Karate Kid' stamp, coloured with Pro Markers (minimal colouring needed too so it was super-quick)
- orange card from the trusty Core'dinations stash
- papers from Bo Bunny's 'Barefoot and Bliss' collection, which has some really great papers for seaside and Summer cards
- computer printed sentiment
- Josy Rose nail heads
And that's my card for today - here's hoping the card does the trick!

ReplyDeleteLove the card, fabulous brain wave for the sentiment. Love the papers ideal for a male card. I am pretty partial to LOTV images. Oh just thought is it today they have some new images out, must go and check.

Cute card! When poking through my stash I see that I have a lot of stamps that could be used for men, but when pressed upon to actually make a card for a man, suddenly nothing comes to mind or seems to work. You got it covered here!
ReplyDeleteI think this card will cheer him up ... the sentiment certainly makes you smile, cheerful colours too and the image is fab. Elizabeth x
ReplyDeleteHi Di,
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me of Karate Kid -- I think he'll do the trick just right.
Had company over the weekend so didn't get much crafting done until today! Laundry can wait!! I still have clean undies ;-)
Hugs,

HAHA! I'm sure that cheeky chappie will make anyone smile, especially if they're not well. I'm in my 2nd week of antibiotics and steroids and it certainly worked on me :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card Di, I especially love the sentiment stamp its just perfect, Luv Karen xx
ReplyDeleteHi Di

I would never have thought of using that image for a get well card .. . but teamed up with your sentiment it is perfect!!!
Thanks for the inspiration.
Love Jules xx
You did a fantastic job...I have made it no secret I struggle with them so therefore I "dread" them. However, it's important to MAKE them!
