S & S Sketch Challenge #107









Good Sunday Morning. Time for another Sketch Challenge over at Stars and Stamps blog. I have been making a love of "girly" type cards this week, so I thought I'd make today's card a masculine one, although it could still be used for the ladies, I guess. I started by stamping my Hero Arts sentiment in versamark and then embossing it with Black ep. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for a little punch on my Night of Navy card stock. I decided to go with a SU punched strip and a heart brad instead of the ribbon and bow. My papers are from an older DCWV Winter Pack. As you can see I matted everything with Whisper White. I'm kind of pleased with how it turned out and I hope the recipient will be also. I'm off to try to get some Mother's Days cards made to go into my next OWH box. In case you haven't done so yet, you might want to head over to my post here to sign up for some Blog Candy. I reached 100 wonderful followers, that I do appreciate so much, and I wanted to give something away in honor of that milestone. The more names the merrier!. Have a wonderful day.

  2. Using a border punch is so smart. I never manage to make masculine cards with ribbon- to me they are impossible!

  12. Great "Man" card -- you hit the nail on the head (Tee Hee) with this one. I like how you did the embossing on this card That is something I haven't tried -- guess I am going to have to get out of my comfort zone and try it. Thanks for the inspiration.
