Thanks for stopping by to check out my latest card. Today is the start of a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we would like you to use your Dies and/or Punches. I used this challenge as an excuse to buy the Contemporary Diamonds Shapeabilities by Spellbinders. When I first saw it I knew it would make a cool card for a guy but I didn't have a good reason to buy it, so I didn't. A couple weeks later and the right challenge and I found the "justification" I needed to make my purchase. The hardest part when making this Manly Contemporary Diamonds Card was deciding what colors to use. I ended up using: Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Midnight Muse, Hello Honey and Cherry Cobbler. To add some interest to the background paper I used the Dot Fade stencil by Tim Holtz with Antique Linen distress ink and Crumb Cake ink. The Thinking of You sentiment is from the Wetlands stamp set by Stampin' Up! and was stamped using Soft Suede ink. That's it!
Click here to see the wonderful inspiration from the design team. We hope you will join us and we can't wait to see what you create for one of the men in your life.
My Manly Contemporary Diamonds Card is entered into the following challenges:
- AAA Cards: Paste and/or Stencils
- Less is More: Stencilling
- Craft Your Passion: Anything Goes
Wow! Awesome design, Andrea! That's a fabulous die!
ReplyDeleteYep a great masculine card using that die. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch an unusual design but so great for the 'oh so difficult' male cards. Love the delicate stencilling in the background.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us.

The stories we tell ourselves to justify shopping! Great looking die cuts, reminds me of a stained glass window. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards.
