I paired the colours with Card Patterns Sketch 80 and kept things rather simple as my hubby is a simple kind of guy. It's a bit hard to see, but the Navy background has VersaMarked stars on it from one of the stamps in the Background Basic (SU) set. I also got to try out my new PTI scalloped die and just love it - that is after figuring out that the scallops on the die aren't flush with the top of the die when you use it (insert - redo of scallops LOL!). Crimped the white panel for some texture, added some twine, stars and a button to keep things masculine and used this wonderful Verve Happy Birthday stamp. I think hubby will enjoy his card.We are celebrating all the family's September birthdays this weekend so now I have to get a card done for my daughter and sister-in-law! Back to my stamps I go - oh darn LOL!
Enjoy your weekend!!

ReplyDeleteHi Marisa,
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind on comments...spending 10 hour days at work and then home just in time for a late dinner and bed...but I have a very sweet class and fabulous staff and the parents are giving me space :)
so I haven't said congrats on your new design team...sounds like you like doing that...they are great challenges...especially under pressure. Loved your Mojo card...the black and white/cream look stunning :) I'm sure your husband loved this one too....if he's like Tony, he loves that it's handmade :) TGIF!!!!
Great job on these challenges! I really didn't like this week's sketch, but you have done fabulously with those stars!! Great crisp feeling on this-I am sure your DH loved it. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteI played both of these challenges this week, too, and had fun with both!! I agree that the ColourQ colors are perfect for masculine cards. Yours turned out super. I'm sure your DH will just love it :) Have fun stamping!
