Hi Everyone!
Wow what a fabulous response we had on the AAA Cards Birthday Extravaganza blog hop! And thank you so much for your wonderful comments on my card. I love, love, loved reading them 😀 We’ll be announcing the prize winners on the main AAA blog soon.
As today is Sunday, it is time for the new challenge in the meantime. This week the challenge is to design a male card. Here’s my take:
I used some of the colors from the picture inspiration including the yellows, oranges and chrome logo. I’m on a bit of a colored embossing paste kick at the moment so I used the Mini Microbial stencil from the Crafter’s Workshop with white Dreamweaver embossing paste, colored with Papertrey Ink inks in Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise and Canyon Clay (working centre to edges). I thought these matched the crazy summer sky in the picture pretty well.
Love the colours for the embossing paste – it really reminds me of a big glass of ale (not sure if that is what you were going for or whether I have just been drinking too much beer lately!). The sentiment is great – perfect fro a masculine card! Jill
Very awesome background! It's been a pleasure being on this team with you — I'll be playing!
Loving that background with all its shiny metallic looking spots. Great sentiment too, if only it were possible to be an eleven out of ten!
So clever and striking Jenny with a brilliant sentiment. My hubby was pretty keen on this one when I showed him the line up! Sarah x
Love that you had the background in the inspiration image in mind as you created your wonderful background for this card. Beautiful job on that. Love the sentiment. All make a wonderful composition. Great masculine card!
loving your colored embossing paste background!!!! Thank you for playing a long with us at simon says stamp wednesday challenge!
