Flourishes Preview, Day 3: A Man’s View

Published by leslierich at 9:37 pm under Cards, Flourishes, Masculine

Day 3 of Flourishes’ previews is all for the guys with this set called A Man’s View, created by Lauren Pope.

AMansView1Apr09

The set has images and sentiments appropriate for Father’s Day, but this card wound up going to a friend’s dad for his birthday.  Isn’t that a familiar pose?  Actually, it could be me at this very moment but, rather than a TV in front of me, I’ve got my computer in my lap.

I colored this with Prismacolor markers and kept it relatively unadorned — just a little bit of hardware and some masculine papers to coordinate with the colors in the image.  To get a look at some of the other features of the set, please visit:    Christine, Cindy, FaithJulie, Latisha, Laura, and Stacy.

    I love this card, Leslie! My DH used to have this arm-chair, and I didn’t like it. Because when he was sitting in it he was always fall a sleep. So it means I no DH for the rest of the evening, just snoring… When we moved we donted this chair, so I was glad about this… Thank you for briniging me memories!
