So Artful - One Stop

Beautiful Men from the Movies, the theme for the So Artful challenge, inspired this card. Using Alan Ladd's photo it was easy to make this monochromatic card for a relative's birthday. Using monochromatic colors is the theme for One Stop Craft Challenge this week.

The background is one I made some time ago using various Moon Shadow mists. I stamped it with numerous stamps, mostly See-D's, in brown ink and outlined with my white ink pen so that it would look sort of like bandana art. The bow is made from rope-like cord to look Western. The text was done on the computer using the font Giddyup.

    Beautiful example of a guy card. I love that pic of Alan Ladd. Your background paper is gorgeous. I'm so glad that you told how you made it. It's the white outline that makes it pop.

    Thanks for joining us a Soartful.

    Schöne Karte, ich mag den Schauspieler und sehe gerne alte Filme mit ihm, wenn sie denn bei uns im TV gesendet werden.

    Liebe Grüße Biggi

    I should make some cards. Looks like lots of work, however! Plus one would need certain things! I just realized about ten minutes ago I needed a card for my daughter's anniversary and thankfully I had one on hand. It will still be late!
