A Masculine Thank You Card

Hi All! Hope you've been enjoying this warmer weather. Our summer vacation started a couple of weeks ago. I always make it a point to send Tim's main teachers a thank you card at the end of the year to thank them for their hard work. Sadly I often forget to thank the other staff members who offer support to the teachers & also the students.

This year I had several opportunities to interact with several "support" staff members including our school principal who happens to be a guy :) Can you believe I did not have a single card that would be appropriate for a man??? I whipped up something really quickly but didn't get a chance to photograph it. It was a nice reminder of why I like to have several cards on hand for those moments when I don't have time to create a card.

Which brings this little card into play. I like to keep my masculine cards pretty simple, so I chose two patterned paper scraps, PTI sentiment, a little distress ink, & some foam tape to create this CAS card. 

Thanks for looking!

I'm still here... sort of

My crafting has taken a back seat to some other priorities right now, but I'm still here. Sketching, writing down ideas for projects I'd like to create. Summer vacay officially starts in one week for us. My son is beyond thrilled about that  :) 

I have however been making lot's of mini 2x2 cards. This one is my fave :) The cupcake image is by Hero Arts, and the sentiment is from PTI's Mixed Messages.

I used a Spica glitter pen and glossy accents to highlight the frosting. I colored the rest of the image using Copic markers and added a mini button to give the card a little dimension.
