Meet Mr. Chevron

Many of us--myself included--have a hard time coming up with ideas for masculine greeting cards.  So I was delighted the other day when I stumbled upon inspiration for a masculine card while I was reading a book.

Supplies: patterned paper from October Afternoon; paint from DecoArt; stamp from Unity; ink from Hero Arts; stickers from Lily Bee.

I was geeking out with a classic Star Trek book that included a minor character named "Mr. Chevron."  What a name!  My mind ran to a pair of chevron papers that I had recently purchased, as well as a male "potty person" stamp that I recently won.  I asked myself, could I combine these new supplies to make a couple masculine cards?

Yep, it worked!  It was a good day, because I got to combine three of my favorite passtimes--reading, card making, and drinking tea.  :)

At first I was thinking of holding on to these cards to use as Father's Day greetings next summer.  But I realized I don't have to wait that long.  I've already used one as a birthday card for my uncle, and I'm sure I'll be able to use the second one soon.  Thanks for the inspiration, Mr. Chevron!  ;)
