He is my Knight in Shining Armor!
I made this for hubby because most days this feels true...
Of course there are a few rare days when I want to harm him. (That would be on my dragon days)
But I am showing you in case you can use it for a Valentine for your sweetie.
Here is the outside of the card...
Very Manly
And here is the inside of the card:
Pretty clever, huh?
And here is the sentiment from the retired NEW in mini catalog rub-on set Chat Room
He will be in full agreement...
(insert eye roll or smirk here)
Really, he is pretty wonderful (safe to admit without him getting a big head, he is out of town, too busy to read this)
For visor - take an ORNAMENT punch (no longer for sale) hole - re-punch a little bit above the hole to get this shape - You could just cut this by hand if you didn't take my advice and buy the ornament punch. Draw lines by hand and add glitter 1 inch hole, punch around it with the wide oval, use the 1 inch circle to snip in both sides at the neck
large oval - stamp with Canvas (retired) to look like chain metal. (stamping pretty subtle, can easily be skipped)
I think you can do the face on your own.
The castle door was stamped with Wood-grain background and sponged heavily. I got the oval shape for the door by tracing my scotch tape dispenser (like I did with the apron recipe holder). Spiral punch for castle top. Stonework done freehand (sloppily)

ReplyDeleteWOW, I think this may be my favorite card you have made! I love the way the door opens...like a draw bridge... Between Santa in his jammies and this guy for sure. SOOOOOOO making this! I'm very happy to see the visor is made with the ornament punch, I thought it was photo corners which I don't have... YIPPEEE Thanks so much for sharing... not everyone is this generous and FREEly sharing their ideas... not to mention yours are the best.

ReplyDeleteWOW! WOW!
ReplyDeletehugs :)
I love him! Although right now, I'm not feeling much like he is my Knight in Shining Armor, since he has been gone almost a month. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletehugs,
This is just great and will be perfect for Roscoe's daddy. He is our knight in shining armor (or at least in his blue jeans). How is the idea of a punch book coming along? It would be so wonderful.

Ellen,we must be linked today! This is the post that I just did and someone told me to come look on your blog! They would go so good together! I wish I had seen your knight first so he could go in the heart on the front!
