MAWTT - A Mascuine Card

Hell and welcome to my blog. 

Today we begin a new challenge at MAWTT -Moving Along With The Times

Tracy has chosen for the challenge - A Masculine Card. To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog.

I decided to have a go at making this unusual card, after watching it being made on a craft TV programme. This is the front view, I will add the reverse further down the page. I followed the measurements and score lines to create the required folds, which was simple. I used papers and cards from my Hunkydory stash. The toppers, there are a total of 5, all except one, are from a collection of Bookmark toppers from Hunkydory. The odd one out, is the guy battling the rapids, he is from a H.D. pocket pad of Sporty Guys, these are much shorter than the Bookmark toppers, but I did a bit of cutting and pasting, literally and covered the gap with a sentiment greeting. I added matching papers on the inside. On the reverse I left one panel for any messages.
