All Day Training Swaps

Today I am in Leeds for our Quarterly All Day Training Event
 with fellow team members of Julie's Jems in Pudsey.
The theme for our swap today is Male projects.
I have great difficulty coming up with cards for men, but here are my efforts.
Early Espresso. Sahara Sand and Crumb Cake - Gold Embossing
Sahara Sand and Early Espresso - Gold Embossing
Marina Mist and Midnight Muse - Pool Party Embossing

Midnight Muse and Marina Mist - Clear embossing on Midnight Muse ink
Basic Gray and Black - Silver Embossing

Basic Black and Basic Gray with Black Embossing
We had to do 30 swaps for this event, but as I have a low boredom threshold,
I made mine in different colour combos as labelled above.
The die is the Lattice Bigs die and the stamp set is Postage Due.
I relied mainly on the colours chosen and the postage stamp image to give a male feel to these.
Think that I have succeeded.

    You certainly have succeeded Kate, I like the different colour combinations, makes them far more interesting, ad makes the die cut stand out too. Love the postage stamp image x

    This are brilliant and very suitable for men! Men don't like all the fussy stuff on their cards like women do. These are lovely colour mixes and I love the stamps addition. Very great :-)
