My Manly Mans Valentine


Here is my dear hubby's valentine!! We love to boat in the summer months so I thought this fitting for him. I used the Just Because Cricut Cart and cut the boat at 3", and the scallop frame at 3". I cut the boats shadow at 3.1" so it would be a little more pronouced and used pop dots to the boat to give it more depth. I added 3 brads and some twine to embellish and inked it up with Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I did the sentiment on the computer and framed it out with 2 little heart brads. I hope he likes it! I will be entering it into the following challenges-

Cricut Cardz Challenge #60 - Make a valentine card for a man using any cartridge, any colors.

Cooking With Cricut 15 - Anything that has a shadow


Jitterbuggin' Challenge 33- Non traditional Valentine, no red or pink

More than Favors - Wacky Wednsesday #24- You can create anything with the colors Yellow, blue and white.

Whew, can't believe I got 4 challenges out of that! I left links for all come check them out and join in the fun!! Hope everyone is staying warm and safe.
