Hello, hello - hope you're enjoying the weekend!
The current cue word over at Casology is 'masculine.' I've been looking for some more masculine stamps for a while now, specifically for kids over the age of 8 and that doesn't feature boats or monsters! I bought Boy Basics:Game on from Papertrey Ink - it was one of their small, $5 sets and it's perfect for kids or teens as it features a WII-like remote and Sony DS-like controls:
I'd like to say it took me 2 minutes to make this card but the simple ones are really never that simple are they? It took forever to work out the positioning of the remotes before I was happy with it. The good thing is that it would take me about 2 minutes to replicate it and would only require a change of colour to make it suitable for a girl!
Over at Time Out the theme for the latest challenge is also masculine 'with optional twist of mixed media' so I'm going to enter my card over there too. No sign of any mixed media though - just stamps and ink!
Thanks for popping by today,

How I know the simple ones can take forever. Sometimes it is the placement of sequins or enamel dots that take me forever! I think you rocked this though, the design is perfect. Thanks for joining TO

ReplyDeleteBrilliant, Claire ... crisp, fresh and such a great layout! The simple ones always take the longest as they need to be perfect ... and this is! So happy to have you playing along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on the time it can take to make a "simple" card - they always seem to take me the longest! The placement of your remotes and choice of colours is absolutely perfect - I noticed it in the gallery right away - I love the greeting and placement too! Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out! Jill
