Green Geometric Birthday

I spent the afternoon trying to make art ... and failing.  However, now I know what not to do in the future.  

I decided to see if I could rescue anything from my failed attempts.  I chose the Code Word Geometric at Addicted to CAS for my inspiration and decided to make a masculine birthday card, since my stash needs restocked.

 

 

I die cut Hexagons from a piece of Alcohol Ink paper and another scrap of gelli printed paper - both in greens.  I positioned them on a white card base, adding foam tape to the overlapping one for dimension.

 

 

I debated between a stamped sentiment and a sticker, and ultimately went with the sticker because the color and font seemed just right.

 

 

I'm also joining the Time Out Challenges 10th Birthday Celebration.

I know exactly what you mean Stef - had days like that myself! What a fab card in the end though - such a gorgeous shade of green and I love the CAS design!
Thanks for attending our 10th birthday celebration at Time Out Challenges! Looking forward to seeing you in the gallery again soon!
Hugs, Kate (DT Time Out Challenges)!

Stef, there is no failure in art - just practice :-) - and I love how it turned out. All that wonderful texture is gorgeous. So glad you shared this with us at Addicted to CAS this week

This would be perfect for Men! Love the bright greens. I struggle with masculine elements too, so I get what you are saying. Thank you so much for joining Time out challenges 10th birthday celebrations! Hugs ~ Ishani <3
