PaperPlay - Father's Day/ Card for a Male

Morning guys, how are you all?! This is my first ever post for PaperPlay Challenges - I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am!!

First things first.. the theme this week over is..

"FATHER'S DAY/ MAN'S CARD"

We've been very kindly sponsored by Love To Stamp, and the lucky winner will recieve a $15 voucher!

So, I've gone for a hybrid of the two.. using an adorable digi from Some Odd Girl©. Just so you know.. I thought of the sentiment ALL BY MYSELF! Awesome, I know! ;)



The card came together pretty fast - if you're a follower of my blog you will probably recognise this layout. I can't get away from it. I spotted it on someones blog aaaaages ago and I can't remember who it was to give them credit! It has stuck with me ever since though and I use it. A LOT! The little Magnolia die was sent to me by my lovely friend Roz. She cut me a bunch from white cardstock, so I've 'coloured' this one with Old Paper DI to coordinate it with the rest of the card - not overly sure how well that went.. but there you have it.

Supplies

Cardstock: SU! Naturals Ivory; Crumb Cake

Patterned Paper: Kaisercraft - Homemade paper pad

I hope to see you over there. I know us crafters generally find it difficult to produce those male cards, so this challenge may take you outside of your preferred comfort zone, but TRY IT!! You never know - you might be chuffed with the results!!
