Today's card was made for my husband for father's day. He once owned a red and white truck like this so I thought he'd get a kick out of it. The background panel was a piece of light blue cardstock that I stamped with a SNSS woodgrain clear stamp in a dark blue colored ink, then die cut it, (along with the sentiment panel) with a set of GMD dies. I layered it on black, white, and finally a black card base. The truck die was a gift from a friend and has no name on it. I colored it with Copics. The sentiment is by Taylored Expressions and I added a little red flag banner to balance things out.
I will enter this into the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - masculine
Dies R Us challenge #146 - It's Dad's Day
Cardz 4 Guyz #246 - Father's Day
As for this new blogger format, I keep trying to use it, but each time I post, the old format appears when I post a card, while the comment and reading list sections remain the new format. Twice now I've tried reverting back to the old format, then clicked the new blogger again; used the new format again to post a card, but when I went back to post the next time, the old format for posting appeared again; while the reading list and comment sections remained the new format. My inlinx photos only show occasionally - most times it's just a little grey box and now when I visit blogs, there are no cards visible until I hit the refresh button for each and every one. For a relatively new computer, these issues are frustrating and make me wonder how much longer I want to continue doing this. I've been reading and trying to find a fix, but so far nothing.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and have a great day! May your troubles be fewer than mine :)

That is one thing about being a cardmaker, is that we can personalize it to fit with the recipient and I think that's so cool! He will love it and I think you've paired it beautifully with the background and sentiment! It's a fantatic masculine design! Have a great weekend my friend!
A super masculine make Carol, a great die cut truck.

Aww such a nice card to celebrate your husbands old truck complete with matching colours. Love the background and how fab to have the perfect sentiment. I wouldn't worry too much about Blogger, I think the problem is with them as some blogs I've visited using the new format just show me a blank image box. I've been able to just click on the image box and it appears... the saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it - guess Blogger missed that memo x
Sounds like this will be a perfect design for your husband, Carol. Great card!
Hopefully by the time we all have to use the new blogger format, all the glitches will be sorted out. I've only had a little play on my last post, which seemed to be okay, but I've reverted back to the original one for now. xx
