Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge # 49

Happy 13th Birthday Dude!!!

Well when I got back from Skiing on Monday and read this Challenge I new I could handle this one as there are mostly boys and men in my extened family and we are very limited on the female sex. I have two sons 8 and 10 and I always seem to be making male birthday cards for the numerous parties they go to. Alfie's sunglasses have been filled in with Glass Coat to make them stand out and look like Sunglasses.

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: White card stock for the base, navy blue and orange Bazzill.

Design Paper: Bought some this ago both are Scrapbook Wall in stripes and squares

Image: Cool Alfie by Digi Stamp Boutique

Colour Medium: Water Colour Pencils, and Black and White Gel Pens

Embellishments: Ribbon, Round paper curl and brads from my stash

Sentiment: PC generated Boyz R Gross

Tools: Water Brush, Cuttlebug, Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Circle and Classic Scalloped Circle, Blue Ink pad, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Traffic Jam, Piece Sign from Hippie Chick font from Cuttlebug.

I've enjoyed looking at all the other male birthday cards and hope there are more masculine challenges to come.

Take care and have a great week.

RED WHITE & BLUE
This weeks Cupcake Craft Challenge the colours are RED WHITE & BLUE. I love these colours especially having boys and making boy cards. This card was made last week for my son Ryan's 8th birthday. He's always walking around the house as though he's playing an Electric Guitar so when I saw this image it was just perfect for him. I took a photo as you do LOL and this has now fitted this challenge. The Electric Guitar has been coated with about 4 coats of Glass Coat to make it shine and also to stand out.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: White card stock for the base, Red and Blue Bazzill.
