Male CAS card TMR

 Hi Everyone, my second DT card today is for 

Looking through my stamps for male images, I found a few of sport, I hadn't used the cycle stamp, so that's what it would be.  

Next what design, I have said for a while I've been minus mojo, so I decided to use a sketch to help and thought this one quite different, that would certainly get me going. It's by MFT #519
What was I going to use for the triangle? I went through my paper pads and came across this, not a usual colour for male cards, I thought, but what the heck. I measured the bottom at 4inches, then measured the sides until they met at the centre. That was it, I cut the triangle. Then stamped the bike and embossed it. The stamp came with sentiments and I mixed them to get them the effect. A large die was used to cut around it, so plenty of shifting it to fit. I then blended the sides with DO ink. 

I laid the triangle and sentiment onto the base card to see the effect, but I didn't think it looked finished, even though it's a CAS card. So I went into my Silhouette, then looked online to find a free cycle helmet and cycle gloves to fit inside the triangle. Two layers were cut and glued together, then attached to the triangle. Although you can't see it, I also embossed a triangle around the card triangle.  In the end I was happy, I think I may have to start using sketches again to get my mojo going.

This is a great card. I think the colour is very masculine too and the triangle adds interest. It is funny, but I find it really hard to work with sketches. Good job we are all different isn't it? xx
