Today is my Brother-in-law Ger's birthday and I have made him this card.
I am really pleased with it.
I was inspired by something similar on Pinterest (what would we do without it!!)
The colour combo is basically Crumb Cake and Soft Suede on a White base card -
in retrospect I should have done it on cream or Very Vanilla.
That said - it doesn't look wrong.
The Crumb Cake panel is textured with the Textured Impressions Square Lattice Embossing Folder.
I think this is really suitable for men's cards .
The narrow borders were punched with Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch and cut in half.
The pennants are cut freehand from some Mocha Morning DSP - now retired.
and the old faithful sentiment from Curly Cute stamp set.
Name is die cut with the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Medium Sizzlits Dies
(also now retired - but it is a useful size!)
Happy Birthday Ger!! Have a great day!
What a fabulous card Kate. Perfect either sex. I love it on the white I think it really pops. xx Jan

ReplyDeleteOh, this is gorgeous Kate! I love it on the white...I think if you'd used ivory or the vanilla it might have lost a little something.
