Thor Superhero - CK #91

Hi my friends from a very wet logged H Town!  In case you haven't heard or seen us on TV news, we had a record 10+ inches of torrential rains on Monday night. Pretty scary night. Luckily, my house is up on a slope so no water got in. I did lose power for 4 hours. We have had rain off and on, more on than off, since December. The most we've had in years.  In fact we are almost to our year mark and it's not even June yet. Then our office was without power on Tuesday morning so we were closed. An extra day off was nice. I was afraid that things were going to be bad this morning because I woke up to more thunderstorms but this one passed over us pretty quickly and I was able to get to the office even a little late.

The extra time off gave me some extra time for stamping. So let's get to my Creative Knockouts card for this week.  In case you wonder why I chose this image to use,  one of my sons-in-law has a birthday in June and it so happens that his name is Thor, so I thought this would be a great card for his birthday.  Hmmm. . must say, it really doesn't look like him, but I bet he'll like it. Besides that, his family are addicted to all those Marvel theme movies.

 Materials Used:
  • Image - Bugaboo - Thor Superhero
  • Sentiment - Computer Generated
  • Cardstock - Stampin Up Old Olive; Xpress It Blending Card
  • Designer Paper - Basic Gray - Archaic
  • Accessories - Stampin Up Label Punch; Die (?); Twine from my stash
  • Copic Markers - E34, E37, E42, E44, E47; N0, N1, N2; R27, R37, R59; T3, T5, T7; Y15, Y26, Y32

Our theme this time is Tic Tac Toe.  Use the chart below to determine how you will make your card. I used a Digi Stamp, Sentiment, and Twine for my card.

  4. It's good to hear from you! It's been a while and I was wondering if you were in the middle of all that I've been seeing on TV. I'm glad you live on a rise, but DO be careful driving to work. You couldn't have made a better card for your son-in-law. Great coloring. He'll get a kick out of this. Stay safe!

  8. I'm glad you are safe! I'm assuming H Town is Houston. We move from there just after the last big flood about 15 years ago. I understand Meyerland got hit pretty hard again. Anyway, I love your manly card! Perfect for CRAFT Challenge this week. Thank you for joining us in the fun! Brenda

  12. And I thought your choice of image was inspired by the weather, Thor being the god of thunder and lightning. He's quite a hunk! Love your spore choices, the match the style of the image really well.
