Masculine Birthday Card


Today's card was made for two challenges this week.  Colour Me and The Friday Mashup.

My card was based on the monochromatic use of Old Olive over at Colour Me,  along with the masculine theme at The Friday Mash up. I used two Green paper patterns on a Whisper White base.  To this I added a White scallop border & Green burlap ribbon.  My stamped image and sentiment are fixed onto dark Green cardstock followed by some stitching.  To finish it all off I added a cute little Old Olive bow and large halfback pearls.

    Love the simplicity of the trees in black with the green papers drawing the eye in. The stitching around the image panel looks terrific!

    Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Friday Mashup!

This is my entry for the Mojo Monday challlenge.  This has been a very busy week, with working 2 jobs, weight training, and writing a final exam, I have had very little time to relax and craft.  I was unable to come up with my own idea and cased this card from Teresa Kline/Paperie Blooms .  Now that I am done my course I have a little more free time. Until next time.

Summer Smooches

Today I am entering my card in two different challenges.  I always like to pick a color challenge with a sketch challenge. I chose the color combo from  Colour Q #130 and the sketch from  Just-Add-Ink . I love this new stamp set Summer Smooches, that will be available April 01-30.  It's super cute a quite versatile. I began my creation a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Tempting Turquoise cardstock.  The first layer is Certainly Celery and measures 4" x 5 1/4".  The second layer is an embossed piece of Whisper White cardstock and measures 3 3/4" x 5".  I stamped the tulips using Melon Mambo, and the other image using Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery and Daffodil delight. Here are the sketch and colors:
