Chalk It Up

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! Father's Day is just around the corner & so are a lot of birthdays. The new DRS images are perfect for masculine cards. It's sometimes hard to come up w/ a guy card that isn't golf or fishing, so here's one for the dad who likes to play pool (like hubs). I made one card where I colored in the billiard balls (coming later), but it was a little hard for me since they're so small, so I figured out a way to use them that didn't require coloring.

Another card I made had a split black/white bg so I used the other halves for my bg here. On the black bg, I stamped the image w/ Distress picket fence & on the white version, just Memento ink. the central image was stamped on white & I colored it in very lightly & added a green layer behind it. The partial greeting was white embossed on a narrow black strip.

I put the rest of the greeting on the inside & added a narrow green frame & a cut out billiard ball. Below it are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
