In my last make my day I wanted to use something other then rubber stamps which resulted in me finding that I had mostly girlie images or cute character images so it meant the men missed out as they were not willing to surprise their wives, girlfriends, daughters, nieces, friends.... I don't blame them as I'm too selfish to share too. So I decided to do a second round today and try and make a more male type card. I'm actually curious to know how many men actually read my blog... maybe you'll be willing to come out of the wood works just to comment on this one as I only know of 2....
Men and Women can try and claim this postcard though :)...
My title on this one on my flickr is 'If I was a king for the day postcard 007' move over James Bond my kitty is out to get you... he looks mean enough I admit!
You can't tell on here but I've used sandy coloured paper for the cat and gold card for the hat. I used watercolour crayons to colour him in but they turned out to be such a mess :(.
Kings always have a medallion to represent them.... Don't they?
I used the Fibre Art Stencils which a friend sent me for Christmas or my birthday... I can't remember but I have used them a lot and love them.
To finish it off I added the black lines which to some may look like a mess but I always like them as it adds a little edge to a plain piece of work. I backed it on to greeny/gold card.
Some other ways that I have used the stitching, for some reason I can't seem to find one where I've used the stitching above but I have used it a lot of times as I like it a lot.
I forgot to say start with 'Make My Day' and I'll randomly select someone on Wednesday!

What would you get up to if you were King or Queen for the day?
