I rummaged through my stash of stickers, saw this armchair one and just knew I had to use it and how. I've had it for a while, I have just been waiting for the right moment and idea I guess.
The armchair sticker is quite large, it's dimensional and it's really nice to the touch.
I used a Tim Holtz stamp to make the maculine wallpaper, took a piece of burlap paper and an oval die to make the carpet, added as newspaper and glasses sticker from the same set. And the sentiment - Best Wishes - is also a sticker. I think that's one that will work for many occasions.
The card is perfect for a man who's not necessarily one of those avid golfers, or one who loves to go fishing or one who's interested in cars.
This card is for:
Darnell's NBUS Challenge - #7(2nd entry)
Less Is More - #291 Use Sticker, Sticky Label or Peel-Off
the brown background is a stamp? but it's so evenly inked and stamped!
ReplyDeleteLove that armchair sticker too! Love all the different textures on the card.

ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant, Pia! What an awesome sticker! I've never seen a sticker so large! It is such a wonderful focal point for a masculine card and it says to me, relax and get comfortable, enjoy your day! A very nice message to convey!

ReplyDeleteBrilliant card for a laid back guy as you say not all guys have outdoor hobbies, the chair looks too comfy for words
ReplyDeleteI have never seen an armchair sticker before Pia - it's fabulous and the layout of your card is wonderful. Really good job for a card you put together quickly! Thank you so much for the offer of papers etc. to replace the ones that were destroyed in moving house. That was so kind. I am OK at the moment as I have just had a delivery of new papers which made me really happy lol - thanks again Pia :) Michelle x
ReplyDeleteYes-- that armchair "speaks to me"! It just look exactly like a mini-armchair-- not cartoony or anything... and I love how you arranged the scene and made the wallpaper! So clever. Thanks for visiting me... I've barely been able to hop around, but I think of you often!
ReplyDeleteOh this is a fab CAS card Pia… I really love the textures… I would definitely be stroking this card.. the armchair looks awesome!! Lol… it's such a genius design with the newspaper and glasses! The more CAS that I do, the more I think that the key is in the ideas and planning beforehand. You've really nailed it here.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well
Love and hugs, Sue B xx

No doubt - this card is utterly totally masculine. That armchair sticker is quite a find and you could not have used it in a better way. It definitely steals the show for me supported by the burlap rug, the wallpaper, glasses and newspapers... reminds me of my dad!
