Today I'm officially joining the DT over at The Male Room challenge blog where the bi-weekly challenge is all about making cards for the men in our lives. Here is my first DT project ...
Each challenge, of course, has a different theme. For challenge #74 we are asking you to dig into your stash, find some vellum and us it in your card. A good way of using vellum is to add it as a softening layer over a brightly coloured background as I did in my card with the tag.
I had this brightly coloured background I made a while ago using stencils, inks and marker pen which I always intended to use as a background for robots, but it was very bright. I added some random stamping and a layer of vellum to achieve my goal of toning it down.
The little robots are watercoloured, the border is heat embossed, adding a few eyelets, sentiment and heart finished my make of perfectly.
Fancy adding some vellum to your makes, pop over to The Male Room for more inspiration and to link up your masculine makes.
That's it from me for now, I shall be back shortly.
Have a lovely day!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, I love the clever placing of the eyelets to hold the vellum. Great to have you with us at TMR.
