At this evening's stamp camp, this boxer shorts card was one of the great cards we stamped! Isn't it cute?
The Valentine Defined stamp set's clothesline of hearts stamp is the perfect width for the waistband! To soften the brightness of the waistband strip, I sponged the edges.
The "fly" is made by punching a large oval and then cutting it in half lengthwise. I also sponged the edges of the "fly". Faux stitching is done with a Stampin' Write marker.
I showed the gals at stamp camp the secret to drawing a straight "faux stitching" line.......rest the pinky side of your hand on the table while you draw short dashes down the paper, as far as is comfortable, which should be only a few inches at most. At that time, slide the side of your hand downward on the paper & draw another inch or two of dashes. Pretty soon, you've drawn a long row of stitches!
If you are wondering how the card itself is made, I drew a pattern for the boxers, traced it onto the wrong side of dsp, cut it out & adhered the dsp boxers onto a standard A2 card. I then used a scissors to cut along the boxer sides & between the legs so the card itself was shaped like boxers!
