Flourishes Pre-Release Challenge

Flourishes Manly Challenge


Manly Man Cards. As we get ready to honor the fathers in our lives, 
let's challenge each other to think outside the box when it comes to 
"man cards" .  I chose the Beach Life set from Flourishes to create my
card.. It took me forever to figure out which set to use. Then I thought
maybe I could make a Wish You Were Here card for my dad.  
I used the palm tree tops for the bottom of the shirt. I created
my own pattern for the sleeves and the collar.  Sponged on all
the ink for the sky and sunset.  Then added some buttons. 

While the winner  of this challenge will be drawn at random, 
a second winner will be chosen  based on just how creative they got with 
the entry. Can flowers be  masculine? Can an image be used in a way that 
wasn't intended? Show us what you've got! You could walk away with
all four stamps in Flourishes' May release! You have until Friday, 
May 14th at 5 PM EST to enter for your  chance to win. Use Flourishes 
stamps if you have them but if you don't,  please play along anyway. If you 
upload to SCS, please use the keyword  FLLCMAY10. Keep in mind, in 
order to be eligible, you need to link your  creation HERE in this post 
using the inlinkz linky. 
Good luck! We can't wait  to see your manly man cards/creations!
