You are My S.H.I.E.L.D.

"What Does S.H.I.E.L.D. stand for, Agent Ward?"

"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division."

"And what does that mean to you?"

"It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out 'Shield'."

Yes, folks, the fall television lineup is BACK, and Agents of Shield just so happens to be one of my absolute FAVORITES, so, I thought it would be fun to create a card inspired by the show. 'Cause that's how I roll, my friends. That. Is how I roll.



To create the SHIELD logo in the background, I sketched it out and then hand cut it. Yup. No machine involved. You could probably easily create a cut file, but sometimes I just like to kick it old school. Plus, when I made this card I didn't actually own a machine that could do that. LOL! The 'you' is a Simon Says Stamp die and then the letters are cut using Lawn Fawn Cole's ABC's dies. I love that alphabet die set! It's a great font and super easy to use! I cut each letter in both black and grey and then layered them so it would have a nice shadow effect that allows the letters to truly stand out.



The letters are popped up for dimension, too. I used a bit of Wedding Dress ink around the edges to give the card a bit more depth and interest. I think that finishes it out nicely. This card was SUPER TONS of fun to create!!!

Have a Happy!

Because Iron Man

Seriously. I'm not even sure what more to say on this one. Because - Iron Man.



I used a photo to create a pattern. Obviously, I had to rework things to make it 2 dimensional for a card, and then I paper pieced the Iron Man mask using gold, black, and deep red cardstocks. The eyes are cut from white and then highlighted with marker to create a sort of glowing look. Yes. I love this card. I believe that goes without saying. But I said it anyway. Just in case. For reals, though.



I didn't want to go with just any old sentiment on this card, so, naturally, I pulled a quote directly from the Iron Man movies to use as a sentiment. It's pretty much perfect. I used some cute tiny alphabet stamps from Stampendous to stamp it in gold Delicata ink from Tsukineko so that it is incorporated into the design well.

Seriously, though... I'm not sure I could have had more fun with a card. I love Marvel movies, as some of you know all too well, and I SUPER love Iron Man and Avengers movies, so this one, well, this one is just about awesome. For reals. SO MUCH FUN to make!

Have a Happy!
