DDC #65 - Masculine challenge

-
It's time for the new challenge over at Digi darlas.  This time it's about something masculine!

I had  a request some time ago for a card for a birthday of the husband of a colleague.  He works for Volvo/Mac trucks.  She had some huge calendars that she brought me and was thinking of something with that.  She also mentioned that he likes to golf.

So I ended up fancy cutting the trucks and creating my very own paper with them.  I used the page with the trucks glued to them to scan and create the paper that's pretty unique!  I used the fabulous digi from Digi Darlas called golf swinger.  I made my own sentiment to go with it.


I really like how my paper turned out.  I wasn't sure on what to do initially... I made the card bigger than I would have normally.  This was the only way to really showcase the paper and his beloved trucks!

Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored using my copics
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

  1. Challenges 4 everybody - Anything goes
  2. Opus-gluei - Birthday
  3. Paper-crafting journey - Masculine card
This is post number 2!  Still 2 more post to come!!!  So please come back ;)

Hugs

    What a great card for a man's birthday - love that you touched on his interests and career! The digi you used is crisp and I like how you colored it. It stands out so well with the patterned paper. I could see why you would have to make the card larger to accommodate the trucks! It works too. Thank you so much for sharing your card and your creativity with us at Opus Gluei, so nice to see what our themes inspire in people!
