Hello and welcome to my blog. I can’t believe it’s Sunday night already and time for a new Challenge. This fortnight we are CASEing a card from the Mini Catty and giving it a masculine twist.
You may have hopped over from Tina’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.
I’ve used the Koala card on page 20 as my inspiration, mainly using the diagonal background and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
To make my card more masculine I’ve used a card base of Basic Black with a layer of Crushed Curry.
I’ve also added a diagonal layer of Golden Honey SDSP. My Gold Heat Embossed lighthouse is sitting on a Whisper White Stitched So Sweetly Die cut rectangle.
I’ve stamped the compass and seagulls in Black Memento. The lighthouse has been die cut from the rectangle and raised up to give it some dimension. The sentiment is from Sailing Home and is also Gold Heat Embossed.
Mr Marvi was not that interested in my card this week. He was just happy to be allowed on the kitchen bench for a photo.
It’s time to hop over and see Rebecca’s wonderful creation. Just click on the next button below
Thanks for stopping by.
I love the gold embossing, it really makes the lighthouse stand out. Marvi, don’t tell mum but I let my kitties sit on the bench and supervise dinner!!
Love the background DSP behind your lighthouse. It’s given such a different look and I like it lots!
The colours all work so well together. I think I will try that idea with the lighthouse. Beautiful.
Oooh, I love the lighthouse embossed in gold – it looks amazing! I can’t believe Marvi wasn’t impressed!
I love the layers and the gold embossing looks great.
Wow! The gold embossed lighthouse is a winner! What a great card. I love the way you used the diagonal DSP for your card too. Fantastic card.
I’m so surprised by how well the Crushed Curry and gold go together – not an obvious colour combination but it really works! Mr Marvi should look much more impressed than he does – I’m impressed with such a cool, masculine card!!
