Simon Says................Make it Masculine !!

Welcome back on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and the theme this week is....

Make It Masculine 

Father's Day is on 21st June, so this challenge is dedicated to creating something for the men in our lives. You can choose to make a card for anything from a Baby Boy to a Senior Citizen, as long as it is masculine that is fine.

We are showcasing CAS-UAL FRIDAYS and WAFFLE FLOWER Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

.

Our showcase this week is CAS-UAL FRIDAYS and WAFFLE FLOWER and I chose CAS-ual Friday die - Bubble Labels. I thought about many 'masculine' images but decided on using the cute Simon - I coloured her with Copic Makers.

I used Simon Says Shades of Gray cardstock along with their Sea Grass cardstock

 I'm not good at making 'male' card - CAS is OK but others I find diffucult to embellished them with pearls and flowers etc. I intended to stitch around the edges - well I did but use without any cotton - I like the results and will do it again.

I love this cute image 'Blueberry Dessert' - I know it is blueberries but I decided to make it red berries for a change - red currents maybe - take your pick!! I think it looks a little like  small pomegranates
I use .Neenah Environment Desert Storm cardstock and colour the image with  Prisma Coloured Pencils. I did something stupid this image has a sentiment - 'Life's Too Short - Eat Dessert First' but it is too large - I should have stamped it and edited it by re-sizing it!!
