OCC Boy Valentine

This week our February host, Linda Coughlin, has challenged the OCC to a masculine valentine challenge. Many of us struggle with making cards for men. Let’s make sure we have a Valentine made and ready go for our sweetie in time for Valentine’s Day. The challenge this week is to make a card for a man into our life - a significant other, dad, brother or friend.

There is no time limit on our challenges - participate whenever you are able. To play along, upload your creation to your blog or gallery, then leave us a comment linking to your project so we can check it out. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: OCCC



This image is from a new-ish Our Craft Lounge set called, Wanted. It's really different for Valentines, which is why I was drawn to it. I have one DS that I need to have a card done for - and yay me! - now I have only 5 special cards to go, plus the valentines for my kid's classes. Hmm... Better kick into high gear here!

I stamped this image with Espresso adirondack ink and coloured it with copic markers. * i {heart} my copic markers!* I sponged around the edges and distressed them. I used alcohol ink on the 'together' grommet to dirty it up a bit and attached it with hemp twine. I think my hunny bunny will love it!

Please do take a little time to check out the mamzing projects by the rest of the OCC design team!
