Ok so as part of my team swap, we had to do man cards this month. I suck at making man cards, so I went online, found France Martin on youtube and made her card 20 times. It was a labour of love and took me about 6 or 7 nights! But partially that was my fault when I didnt notice the cable embossing folder wasnt current so I had to start again, 7 cards into the process lol. Enter the argyle folder and round two!
The necks are petal pink with sahara sand on them, and come out as quite a good skin colour!
There are a million punches and die cuts on this card. Three punches to make the neck. one to remove the neck hole, two more to make the cuff on the t-shirt. The same concept on his v-neck sweater. Square die to cut it, another two layered to make the cuff of his sweater/vest. Plus his three pockets, The lower pockets are one stitched rectangle cut in half. The upper pocket is the smallest stitched rectangle, cut then the die settled back over it to cut the other end off.
In actual fact, both these shirts are ones I kept because I didnt go with black buttons, I used metal embellishments as buttons instead, on my actual swap. Cool man cards huh!
I am writing this May 19th and dating it to post next month when our swap will be complete. Hopefully no-one I know will head by and see it before they receive theirs. I must ask if its ok to put their swaps up on my blog, that might be a bit of fun!
