Clearly iStamp Father's Day challenge

Oh, the season of the "Dreaded Man Card"....it gives me palpitations. Every year. It's not that I don't like what I end up making...it's just that I feel like I'm repeating my 3 good 'guy card' ideas over & over!
Clearly iStamp, the Clearly Digi Stamps blog, is having a Father's Day challenge that ends tomorrow. I have a whole bunch of their images that are perfect...I love these cars:


Supplies: car and striped paper from Clearly Digi Stamps; wheel patterned paper from Amy Tangerine; Wonky Rectangles & labels 5 Nesties; Wplus9 Banner die; AmyR Designs sentiment; Memento Tuxedo Black ink

The wonky rectangle is layered with foam tape, and so is the car - I printed out 2 copies of the car, die-cut one, and fussy-cut the other to give some extra dimension. 

xoxo,
Jessi

I know how you feel, for a loooong time i had and used only 1 motorcycle stamp for my dad's father's day cards. There is only so many ways to stamp a motorcycle! But i have since gotten new 'guy friendly' stamps!! Your card is awesome! That is one awesome car!!

I agree guy cards are a little of a challenge. I find that they help me think out of the box and be creative in ways I hadn't thought of. Trust me I was dreading that I told my card class we would do 4 masculine cards this month....check it out http://dunnitagaindesigns.wordpress.com/2013/06/01/beware-masculine-overload/
Like you again I do like the results but it did push me creatively.
Did you get the free image we released today? If not get it soon only free for 3 days.
Thank you for playing with us at Clearly iStamp - Father's Day Challenge. Regular scheduled challenges will begin on June 21st with new and exciting stuff! Hope to see you there!!

Alas you are a much better woman than I. Great job on the man card. Keep smiling and creating

Great man card!! They are not my favourite, either. So when I made my dad's father's day card, guess what I did? I sold it! Now I've got to make another and try to get it to NB by next weekend!
