Hi everyone,
There is a new challenge over at Cards In Envy and I would love to see all you go over and give it a try. It is to make a manly card, I know it is out of your comfort zone, but I know you can do it.
I decided to use this bright paper that reminded me of argyle socks. So I concentrated on the gold accent, used a clock, and used some rope twine to accent it. Also in the corners I used some acrylic dots.
Hope to see you over at Cards in Envy entering your card.
Great card Karen and that background paper is perfectly manly! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteKaren, wonderful color choices. How fun to find paper that reminds you of argyle socks and then incorporating it into your color theme! Love the rope twine giving some nice texture to your card. ~ Marilyn
ReplyDeleteLove the fun and bright colors for a birthday card! And the rope twine and red dots are the perfect finishing touches to a great "manly" card.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Karen. Masculine is very much out of my comfort zone for cards, but love all the different samples at Cards in Envy.
ReplyDeleteThe rope twine is perfect for a manly card! Great job!
ReplyDeletelove that line and the cool clock!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the background papers on your manly card and the clock too!
ReplyDeleteI really like the plaid behind the clock!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I got a good chuckle when I looked closely at the sentiment - because the name of the font for it is "Girls Are Weird". So ironic for the masculine challenge, but definitely in line with my sense of humor! :D
Karen I love your choice of paper for this manly card, and yes now that you have said it, it does remind me of socks also. The gold accents and clock are wonderful. Beautifully done! xx
ReplyDeleteClocks are always great images for masculine cards, and I love how you added this one with some great dsp! Nice card for some lucky gentleman!
ReplyDeleteNice card. Manly cards can be hard
