Good friend Day 2

This masculine looking card would look great in a variety of colour combinations, I have chosen Kraft card to make the card base. The Whisper white layer was stamped with three images from the same stamp. I used More Mustard, Ruby red & Night of Navy a colour combination that looks better than it sounds.

That was matted onto chocolate Chip card, but not centrally matted but aligning the bottom left corners. The Ruby Red band was embossed using a dotty embossing folder to add texture to this simple card.

The greeting is stamped directly onto the card in Night of Navy Ink, the greeting is from Basic Phrases a set that I always have on hand now. To finish the card off I used the Star punch & chocolate chip cardstock to make the star embellishment The button in the middle comes from the Earth elements collection & is tied with Linen thread.

Check back tomorrow to see which retired set I will dust off for an inking.

Masculine Cards

Mens cards are always the hardest to make, every card maker I speak to at work wants inspiration for cards for the men in their life.
My hairdresser sells my cards and she has run out of mens cards so I really had to make an effort to get some made for her, Once I started I found it easier than I had expected, I also used some of the Lion images from Pink Petticoat which are so cute.
The papers I have used are 8" x 8" Masculine paper pack by Dovecraft.
