Dad's Day Off (Deedee's Digis)

Hello, everyone!  I'm back again tonight to share a masculine card I made with the May Digi of the Month from Deedee's Digis. This is a progressive challenge. Since I made a card last month using the April digi, I received the May digi for free! You can join at any time; see details here.  Thank you, Deedee, for your free digi!


I like to use pre-coloured images when I don't have much time to spend in my craftroom, like this week!  I die-cut the image with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles and then layered it at an angle on an embossed panel (Cuttlebug Herringbone).  I added three buttons and some twine from my stash.

I would also like to support these fun challenges:  Brown Sugar AG 2/2; Craft Your Passion AG 1/3; Creative Fingers AG 2/3;  Cute Card Thursday Use a Sentiment UE; HIMCR HIMCR02NSD Let's Get Digital 2/3; HIMCR HIMCR05NSD Die Cuts 2/3; Inspiration Destination AG UE; Let's Craft and Create AG Male 1/3; Loves Rubberstamps AG UE; Mema's AG 1/3; Not Just Cards AG UE; Papertake Weekly AG Optional Twist No Patterned Paper 1/5; Send a Smile 4 Kids For a Dad or Special Male (from the kids) 1/3 (TOP 3)Simon Says Stamp Wednesday AG 2/5; Sister Act (Cards Only) AG UE; Suzy Bee's Bloomin' AG No Patterned Papers UE; V's Sweet Ideas Emboss It 1/2; Word Art Wednesday AG w Uplifting Sentiment 2/5

Thank you for looking at my card!  Wishing you a joyful day!

Wonderful and quick card. I like that kind! My card for Deedee will have to wait until after this weekend's festivities are over and I can turn my dining room back into my craft room. But I have it printed and ready to work on! Hugs!

Dee Dee's images are great having both coloured and lined ones. Sometimes when you are in a time crunch the coloured ones are perfect, Love your sketch and the embossing folder you used. and the buttons are just perfect.

Oh this is so fabulous, love this image.

Great card! And this is totally how a man would take a day off. If a man takes a day off and does nothing he does nothing. If a woman takes a day off and does "nothing" you can be sure some things get done!

Judith said...

OOO! love that herringbone - it looks fab - a great card for dad xx

Becca Cruger said...

This card reminds me of Hugh Hefner's robes for some reason. :) Is that weird?! haha I really like the masculine feel and genius move to use the pre-colored image. I should file that away.

Sarn said...

Great digi image . . . spent ages looking for the cat on this card . . . couldn't see one! Are you feeling ok? LOL!.

Hugs, Sarn xxx

Unknown said...

What a perfect masculine card!! And I love that you have a doggy on there hehe... I like what you did with the buttons too - this is just great!!! xx

Donna Ellis said...

That herring bone dry embossing is perfect for this masculine card, KT! I love the deep, rich color, and the comfy look of the man in the image. With a dog by his side, how could things possibly be any better! Isn't the recliner great, right down to the metal details? Love everything about this card. Hope your week-end is fantastic, Miss Kitty! xo

Miriam Prantner said...
