Classic Rock!!

Hi again everyone!

One more post for this evening.  Tonight I wanted to focus on creating a masculine birthday card, it's always nice to have a few of those around.  I always find that I never have enough.

I decided to use the Retro Sketches Challenge sketch for this week as my layout.  I really enjoy playing along with these guys, they have some fantastic sketches!

Here is my card:

I have also decided to link this card up with the Less is More Challenge.  The challenge is to create a masculine card.  I find that this card is not quite my usual "CAS" style, I think that is more due to the fabulous DSP which I completely love.

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: 

Very Vanilla, Retro Fresh DSP

Ink:

Tangerine Tango, Baked Brown Sugar

Stamp Sets:

Bombs Away Birthday Photopolymer 

Tools/Techniques:

Big Shot, Square Framelits, Oval Framelits, Essential Wooden Elements, Sponging

Thanks again for dropping by!

Retro Sketches #100

Hi Again,

One final post for tonight before I head to bed.  Not sleeping much lately, lots of stuff running through my mind including thoughts of playing in my craft room - I should probably get up and get everything out most nights rather than just staying in bed and tossing and turning! Lol!

Tonight I was inspired by the Design Team over at Retro Sketches and their 100th sketch.  Wow, that's quite the accomplishment!  Congrats to all of you!  I will be entering my card tonight in the challenge over on their site:

I wanted to continue to use the product from the Stampin' Up's newest Occasions catalogue as I have yet to use all of it (who am I kidding, most of the stuff in my craft room has yet to be used!!).  I have been staring at the Fresh Prints DSP Stack for a while now and thought, tonight's the night - so I put it to good use.

Here's my latest card:

Here is this recipe for this project:
