Dies R Us April 1, 2015 Challenge (Team A)-"One for the Boys"!

 
 

Hi Friends!

Happy April Fool's Day to you!  You have a trickster in your house?  I used to work with a gal that loved to play tricks on us.  She would tape the toilet paper, put paper in our shoes, and she even sewed the doctor's pants along the hem together...lol!  She was too fun!:-)

Today, I'd like to share with you a card I made for Dies R Us Challenge!  The theme this month for Team A is "One for the Boys".  I knew that I would go with a hockey theme for my son plays hockey on a rec league.  So, for my card, I started with a black card base and paired it with silver.  On the white panel, I used Faber Castell ink in silver and just swiped it over and added a touch of water.  I did the same to the shirt.  The edges of the white panel were distressed with black soot distress ink.  The next layer is a stitched party banner from Lawn Fawn.  The shirt die is from MFT as is the Harlequin die at the side.  Stars were punched with an EK punch.  Hemp cord from Darice and a hockey stickers from Me & My Big Ideas to finish the card.
 
Ok, friends, get out those wonderlful dies!  You have until April 13th to enter.  The winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the Dies R Us store!  I'd love to see your project in the challenge!

The dies I used for my projects today are available in the store, which are listed below...
