My stash of masculine birthday cards is depleted, so tonight, I pulled out some kraft cardstock and put a few together.
The first uses this week's Twisted Sketch with a *twist* to use black. I punched a Bangle Chain Border from black cardstock & layered it over strips of cardstock.
I also added some decorative brads for this week's Brads, Buttons or Bows Challenge at Wee Memories. Sentiment is an EAD Designs Rub-on.
The next card uses this week's CAS-ual Friday Sketch combined with the Die Cuts Color Challenge at Embellish Magazine.
Hero Arts Time Flies Background was stamped in Creamy Brown ink for the background.
I used a die cut for my sentiment background topped with an EAD Designs Stickerz Sentiment (perfect for 1" circles). An SRM Sticker sentiment completes the design.
Oh, please don't tell me that black strip on the first card is a punch. Because if it is, I. must. own. it. *shakes fist*
LOVE all three of these. Great masculine cards!
