So, I thought I had better get to making a card for Brian, since it's the only time before tomorrows supper to be able to make it. I think every card I've made him has involved some sort of game animal on it. I've made lots with just cut out deer heads, glued to the paper. So, this one I wanted to be a little bit different. I looked through my scraps, and found that usual sheet, but veered away from it. I found a brown base, a stripped paper with brown and blues in it, and a textured cream paper. Then I looked through my new (read recently purchaed, lots of these papers were in the clearance section at my local store) patterened paper and found a travel themed page with signs on it. Deer, check; fishing, check; added bonus, cow; perfect. And I started putting it all together.
I actually really like how this card came together and find it interesting to look at. I still find it more difficult making "man" cards than soft, pretty, girly cards, but I'm working through it. It's sure helpful that theres lots of manufacturers out there making manly products now, even if that's not the use they were intended for!
