Just dropping in with a quick post of one of the cards that I did during our mega crafting session on Friday night. I hope you enjoy!
For this card, I decided to use the sketch over at Create with Connie and Mary.
I decided to take it in a different direction than above and make it a bit more masculine looking which was right up the alley of The Friday Mashup this week.
Here's your Mashup Challenge:
- Create a "Masculine" project.
- Create a project with some "Stitching/sewing on it".
- or Create a "Masculine project with Stitching on it".
I decided that I would stay away from the stitching/sewing part this week...
In terms of colours, these came right out of The Card Concept challenge this week where I decided to stay with my normal theme of Clean and Layered - it seems to be a trend for me. :)
These colours just screamed masculine to me so that is what I went with.
Here is my card:
I wish the Stampin' Up! catalogue had star punches or framelits to go with their Simply Stars stamp set. In this case, I stamped the stars on the back of the Gold Foil and fussy cut the stars out.
Card Recipe (All Stampin' Up! products):
Card Stock: Whisper White, Lucky Limeaide, Early Espresso, Gold Foil
Inks: Early Espresso
Stamp Sets: Wacky Wishes, Simply Stars
Tools/Techniques: The Big Shot, Banner Framelits, Chevron Embossing Folder, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Arrows Embossing Folder
Thanks for dropping by!
