Birthday Bash: Day Three
Welcome to day three of our birthday bash! Today, our card and giveaway is all about the men. I don't know about you, but sometimes I have a hard time finding the right blend of images and techniques suitable for the menfolk in my life. I think this technique - Torn Holes from the October/November issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter -- pairs perfectly with the two stamps sets I am giving away today.
Yup, you read that right. Two stamp sets. Both are from Innovative Stamp Creations. The first one is Distressed Script, and is great for all kinds of backgrounds:
The second is called Men of Wisdom and has a plethora of sayings to go along with the stamps:
Okay, one of the reasons I chose these two together is because I thought the backgrounds would be great for some previous techniques. Can't you just see the Back-to-Back or It Takes Two techniques (from the August 2011Technique Junkie Newsletter issue) with these two?
Okay, so here is how you enter. Please leave a comment with your name and email address (PLEASE -- I cannot get your email address from blogger unless you specifically check off the box that says I can!) and my random number generator will pick one lucky winner tomorrow. Play along!
Update: Congratulations to Sandra W, who is the winner of this giveaway!
Fabulous man's card. Those stamps are awesome with that technique.

Love the image and the sprockets/gears add a lot of interest to the card.
ReplyDeleteI agree that finding images and techiniques for men is difficult but I think the designers are hearing us on that - I notice IO has brought our some neutral to mascaline stamps
