A Quick Masculine Thank You

We just returned home from our Maine trip visiting our son and his family on Friday. I'm playing catch up since Saturday. We had a wonderful time visiting family in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Maine, then on our return trip to NC, New York to visit my MIL and more family. The weather was fairly decent while we drove. We did hit some rainy patches, but on the most part, it was clear. The scenery was beautiful and we actually saw a Moose while headed towards my son's house in Maine.

 My next door neighbor was kind enough to water my plants while I was gone for 9 days and I wanted to give him a small gift and a thank you card. Unfortunately, I had thank you cards but they were all on the feminine side. So I went to work to do a quick and simple card using SU Lovely as a Tree stamp set, now retired.

I used all SU products except the rectangle die cut from MFT and was pleased the way it came together.  Colors used: Soft Suede for the base, although it is not showing up like that in this picture, Chocolate Chip Ink for the trees and sentiment, and Night of Navy for the outline rectangle.

Have a wonderful evening and take some time to do something you LOVE!

Masculine Thank You

Today I decided to play along with 3 challenges.  I'm not sure if I have done that before, butI guess there is a first time for everything.

The SUO challenge was pretty straight forward, creating a Thank You card, the sketch over on Freshly Made Sketches was easy to follow, but the color challenge over on Color Throwdown, well lets just say, that was a challenge for me. I worked with several similar combinations and my final decision were Smokey Slate, Tempting Turquoise, and Cajun Craze. I occasionally need a masculine Thank You and I felt the colors and the sketch worked well for that.

That's about it for the evening. My husband would like to eat, so I better get supper started and STOP playing with ink and paper!

Have a good evening my friends and go do something CRAFTY!

Crafty Hugs,
Bernie Bee
