First up, we have Lots of Lines by Beth Silaika. You can make stylish cards in minutes with these big bold images and greetings. I made this card for a teacher at school with a fall birthday using Kraft and Dark Chocolate ink. Substitute stars for a male recipient if you want to man it up a bit!
Tip: Roll the edges of the square stamp on your ink pad to pick up just the outside of the image for more texture and variety.
Next up we have Poster Board Christmas from Becky Oehlers, a lovely two step set for the holidays. I stamped the wreath in Prickly Pear and added the dots in Faded Brick. Stamp the sleigh and reindeer in Dark Chocolate and then some score some lines above and below to frame it up. I added some double stitched 5/8 Pure Luxury Kraft ribbon before adhering to my Prickly Pear base. I used two tiny rhinestones to accent the hat and Rudolph, just color one with a red Copic.

Great butterfly birthday card. I like the browns. I like the way you embossed the second card around Santa and added a red nose for Rudolph.
ReplyDeleteHA! Great minds think alike - I love the masculine kraft/chocolate/white combo!
