Color Throw Down Color Challenge #466 - Plum, Olive & Rust

Spellbinders die, SU! stamps & Markers. 

I love this image. We don't have moose here in north central Texas. But we do have a lot of elk and deer. This is sort of my "go to" image for a masculine card. Right now there is someone in a hospital that I am "Thinking of". This card will go out in Saturday's mail. Hopefully my card will cheer him up!

SundayStamps Neutral 103

Today's card is for the Challenge at Sunday Stamps #103

Their challenge this week is Neutrals in blue, white, and two shades of brown. For my blue I chose SU! Soft Sky and Adirondack Stonewashed. The browns I used were SU! Early Espresso and Crumb Cake. 

The stamps are from SU! - Walk in the Wild, Bliss & Engraved Greetings. 

I stamped the moose twice one on my cs and one on post it note to make a mask. I placed the mask over the moose and added the blues to the sky. Then I came back and stamped the bird. I colored in the moose and the bird. the I made my easel card from kraft cs. 

To make my sentiment on the inside, I stamped with sentiment. Let it dry then sprinkled blue Bistre and spritzed with water. This gave me the perfect mix of blue and brown to match my image. I punched a hole and added a brad to make my easel stand. 

All done!

Below is the inspiration for the challenge in case you'd like to play along, here is the link.

My card was also entered into the AAA Cards Challenge #41. Woodland Animals

Masculine Bister Card

Using my Versa Mark pen and my circles stencils with white embossing powder I created the background. Then I sprinkle green and blue Bister onto the card. Then spritzed with water. The truck is a Deadbeat Designs stamp I colored with my Memento Markers and my silver gel pen.

I am quite pleased with the way this turned out.

Happy Birthday - CTD126 & C4C71

Happy Birthday - I love this color combo presented this week by The Color Throw Down ladies. This week it was Danielle who tossed these beauties at us: Early Espresso, Kiwi Kiss, Marina Mist and Old Olive. They just work sooo well together. This card could go feminine or masculine. As I don't often make masculine cards I think I'll keep this one for one of my male family members. The dp, cs, stamps and inks are all from Stampin' Up!

This card was created using the Sketch at Crazy4Challenges. It was a terrific sketch and it really enhances the color combo!

Timeless Wonder - OAC26

Timeless Wonder - Oh! Alice #26 - Sizing things up. "We are sizing up a GREAT sketch by JEN and the main panel just HAPPENS to be THREE. INCHES. TALL. :) Now, of course you don't have to stick to this if your image won't fit, but we didn't want to anger Mr. Caterpillar by saying that Three inches wasn't a respectable height..." Jessica aka MadHatter.

My card has a very masculine feel to it. I really like the way it turned out. If you do too, please leave a peep in the comments. Thanks.

Masculine - PCPCuttlebug80

Hello it's me again!

I think this week will be a fun challenge. It's not hard at all and if you can understand my instruction then it'll be a piece of cake! Can you believe we are on #80?!!
This week I was out to try to mix an old technique with a new one. But I just ended up with an old technique ramped up a little bit. For this challenge you are going to emboss using any of your patterned embossing folders on both cardstock and a piece of metal. I chose the Fleur De Lis. Emboss both your cardstock and your metal. For my card I chose black cardstock and copper for my metal. I sanded the copper. Then I rubbed some Encore! Copper Metallic ink on my cardstock. Next I cut three of the copper Fleur De Lis out and popped them up on foam adhesives in random places. My ombray ribbon is copper and blue in color so I chose a piece of Pacific Point blue cardstock as my matte.

Happy Birthday - Masculine for Taylored Espressions Sketch #100

Taylored Expressions' 100th Challenge! Can you believe it? Well, I think it's AWESOME! GOOOO TAYLOR!

Now to my card. The Fleur De Lis is from Layers of Color Stamps.
Shhhhh... it's a digi! I colored it with my Copic marker #YG63. Then I used Close To My Heart distressing ink Chocolate on the image and on the CTMH decorative paper. I matted my image on a chocolate brown piece of Bazzill that I punched with my scalloped circle. The sentiment is Stampin' Up! I used 3 decorative brads on the lower right and attached my sentiment frame with one more. The copper paper is a found piece, {it came with a gift card as a Christmas gift}. I ran it through my Cuttlebug using my Fleur De Lis eb folder.

Dream Big - masculine card - CSCC#63

Hi There!

I tried a NEW challenge today. I popped over to PCP and searched through the groups for a new challenge and came across Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. This is challenge #63 for them and challenge #1 for me. But they are featuring one of my favorite movies this week, AUSTRALIA! So I really wanted to play along. The little extra challenge in there was to use Kraft on your project somewhere. I used it in several ways as you will see below. Kraft uses on this project - background embossed with Fleur De Lis, the ribbon, the brads, and the pattern paper. The stamp is from Scarlet Lime. The ink used is from Rubber Stamp Paint Box (applied with a dauber). Cardstock is Stampin' Up! Pattern Papers are from ki Memories classic prints paper pad.
