Paper Players 248

DSCF0218

Happy Sunday, peeps!  Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!  Today, our Paper Players hostess is Joanne, and she has a timely challenge for us:

Although masculine cards don’t usually challenge me, for some reason I had trouble getting “revved up” this week!!  My third attempt finally seemed to be acceptable!

LeAnne Pugliese WeeInklings Paper Players 248 Guy Greetings Masculine Card Stampin Up

I love the images on these Echo Park This & That papers, and sadly, my stack is almost depleted!  I wanted to get the full effect of the images, so I made a BIG card – 5.25” – and used some scraps up too.  I cut out some  little images from another sheet,  and stamped the postage stamp from Postage Due and tucked them in the corner along with some cool brads.

I also stamped the car from the Guy Greetings set and used the sentiment and one of the little hats!  The corner piece is the new Mint Melody, and it is embossed with a CB Diamond Plate embossing folder.  I also used the sketch from Mojo Monday, flipping is so it didn’t look as if my car was driving off the edge of the card!

I sure hope that you’ll play along with the Players this week and share your masculine creation!  You can check out what the other designers did right here:

Thanks for visiting today!

What a fab card LeAnne! That paper is gorgeous and perfect with the stamped car. I love the little elements tucked in to the corner pocket too - great take on the sketch too. I am also in love with the enamel dot - I need those! A great card for my masculine-themed challenge this week!
