Just for Fun I Distressed My Man

Thank you so much for bearing with me this past month and making masculine cards.  As I said at the beginning they could be for any man, regardless of age, from a tot to a grandfather was my thought. What a wealth of ideas there has been, none of us should be stuck with a card for a man again as there is so much to draw from with the entries.

This is the final week and it is to use your Distress products.  What a shame the Distress Pens are not here yet, but if there is anyone in America who is thinking of entering we would love to see what you can do with them.  So, be it the Pads, the Stains or your Reinkers, Sandpapered edges or something else to make it look Distressed go ahead and use it/them to create something that can be used for the male species.

As I am still suffering with jet lag (it is getting better but does take me 3-4 weeks normally) I am afraid I was not very adventurous with my Distressing and only used my inks, usual colours too.  Alison showed me how to do this double easel card at Padgate on Sunday so I rushed home and made it using my new stamps (ok, so everyone else has them but I just got around to buying) to get it in for the deadline for Zoe to prepare the JFF Blog.  Anyway, here it is:

I even did a bit of masking so that the clock face that overlaps the two sections actually does meet up perfectly - so chuffed.  The edging is done with my new punch that I got in America - I really like it, such a super smooth action.

The image at the bottom that provides the "stop" is the long ticket from the same plate.

As you have no doubt gathered by now this is the last edition of JFF.  It was brief but 'Fun' for me getting to know you all and the other members of the DT.  (You guys out there in cyber space - "I am gonna miss you".)  I hope it does not mean you will not Distress Your Man, as Zoe said, "Let's go out with a bang!"  Look forward to seeing what you produce and watch this space for news of something new and exciting in the not too distant future.  Ta Ta for now.
