Hello Nomad friends. It is always a happy moment when I can gleefully remove the empty Weetabix box from the breakfast table and scurry to my craft room to utilise that lovely dark kraft cardboard. Today I am playing at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where the current challenge is Anything Goes!!! Please remember that your anythings must also have hand stamping as the focus of the project to be eligible for the prize. But that still leaves it pretty wide open. I made a birthday card for a male friend using Lost Coast Designs fabulous Crackle Background and the wonderful Evil Eye. He hasn't been out of the cupboard for a while, so he's a bit cranky, but he'd like to wish you all a very happy birthday!!!
Bwahahhahaaaaaaahahaa. He's a little sweetie really. I stamped the Crackle Background on a panel of the cereal box with Salty Ocean distress oxide and gave it a little spritz of water. I stamped Evil Eye on another piece of the box, coloured with Promarkers and gel pens and fussy cut him. The Happy Birthday was stamped with the Salty Ocean DOX, but it didn't stand out so well so I embossed with Baby Blue powder.
Happy Birthday bloke!!

Great background on the cereal box, Gail, and what can I say about your monster? Nothing I'd want to find under my bed - LOL!! Perfect for a guy card, especially if he likes all those fantasy shows like my brother does!!
An unusual masculine card for Stamping Sensations! Thanks for joining us this month and good luck!
He's certainly a very scary creature Gail and a very different image, many thanks for for joining our 'Masculine' theme at Stamping Sensations challenge.
