127!

Here's this week's sketch!

And here's my card (it may look slightly familiar, I posted it over at my personal card blog earlier this week).

I thought these colours would work nicely for a masculine card. I pulled out Masculine Motifs and got to work. I went with one of my fall to layouts. I added the leaves in dark chocolate to the side panel, it didn't seem finished though, so I stamped over that with a Text Style background.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Masculine Motifs, Background Basics: Text Style II
• Ink: Terracotta Tile, Melon Berry, Dark Chocolate
• Paper: Dark Chocolate, Kraft, Melon Berry, Terracotta Tile
• Accessories, etc.: Button, String, Corner rounder

As always, feel free to leave a link below. The thumbnails are back and here to stay, after a brief hiatus.

FTL126 Happy 13th Birthday

When I first saw Natasha's sketch, I immediately panicked.  I loved the idea of using a number in the centre of the card but couldn't think of a reason to make one.  Most of our friends have already turned 40 (the last two are still a few years off), there isn't a big anniversary coming up.... I didn't know what to do.

And then suddenly, I felt like an idiot and had a total DUH! moment...  my younger son was going to his friends' 13th birthday party on Saturday.  See... told you it was a DUH! moment!!!  I used a FTL to create her birthday party invitations so why not use another for her birthday card!

Items Used:

*Cardstock:  PTI White; Core'dinations

*Pattern Paper:  Imaginisce

*Images:  Impress
