Happy Card Maker

Sunday, January 3, 2010


On one of the groups that I belong to, I am the only man in the group. So, I was asked to design some cards for men. I will be doing this as one or two cards per month.I guess that they want to have a mans perspective on cards they would like to recieve. So here is my first one.


I call it "Time to Roar"


The image used on the card is a discontinued image from "The Angel Company" it is called "Tiger Face". I colored the image with Copic Markers. There were only five colors use to complete the image. The colors use were Y18,E19,E000,R20, and YG18. A colorless blender was used to lighten up certain areas. The style for the card is a easel card.


Very simple card but very effective.

The background behind the Tiger image was mottled in green and brown chalks.The watermark on the main card was done with a bamboo stamp in Perfect Pearl Medium and brushed with a Green Perfect Pearls powder. Although it does not show on the photo, the eyes of the Tiger were coated with Crystal Lacquer. Give them a little shine.

Very simple card to maker, but one that your significant other would love to recieve and display on his desk.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!
