Happy Friday, peeps! It finally looks like it may actually be fall here in SE PA….I felt like I was visiting my sister in SC the last two weeks…humid & damp! Anyhoo, I saw this lovely color combo while blurfing at 3 am over at Create with Connie & Mary (sinus headache) and couldn’t wait to use it for a masculine get-well card I needed! Here’s the combo:
Cool, huh? Well, in my bleary-eyed state, I was pretty sure that center image was Crumb Cake, so that’s what I used on my card---oops! I hope Connie & Mary don’t totally disqualify me! I used sketch 134 from Card Patterns, too:
and here’s my creation:
Not much stamping, just a lot of embossing and texturing! I used the Backgrounds #1 Texture Plate for the base; Perfect Polka Dots and Square Lattice for the circles, and my new Simply Scored for the panel. Here’s a closer view of that:
I scored it at 1/8” intervals. The Simply Scored really makes quick work of it!
Wee Details:
- Stamps: Always in my Thoughts (ret)
- Paper: Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Basic Black
- Ink: Stazon
- Acc: Simply Scored, Small Oval & 1” Circle Punches, Background 1 Textures Plate, Perfect Polka Dots & Square Lattice Embossing Folders, Pinked Hearts Border Punch, Narrow Black Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/16” Hole Punch, Linen Thread, Dimensionals
And just so you don’t think that us demonstrators are the only ones who get excited when a SU box arrives:
And sorry about the mismatched outfit—we had a very dirty play day! Thanks for visiting today!
I'm too old and tired to be around your little energizer bunny, but I'll take the box she's playing in. . . (with all the things that came in it of course).
ReplyDeleteLeanne, very nice card, love the simplicity of it along with lots of texture. Adorable pix's of your granddaughter, so cute and looks like into everything! Aren't they fun?
ReplyDeleteNow remember this when you are tempted to buy lots of Christmas presents. Just get the box. LOL So adorable!
ReplyDeleteCrumb Cake works! Love all of the different textures! And I love seeing the next stamping generation being so happy to see that box!

Job well done! I'm like Beau's Mom, Fantastic pic's of Cassidy (super model for SU)but I'll take the box and what was in it. LOL

ReplyDeleteAwesome card! I love the layout, too! I think the Crumb Cake really looks like Sahara Sand in the picture! And what a clever idea to score lines for some added texture! Thanks for playing the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary!
