Masculine Birthday Card

 

Just dropping by this afternoon with a card I created for one of my sons-in-law who is having a birthday next month. He is a no-frills kind of guy, so this sketch works well plus I keep it monochromatic which will fit his taste.

I'm linking this over at CAS(E) this Sketch where I had gotten my inspiration. I was helped along to get out of my creative box by using this SU DSP, In Good Taste. It has been picked up and put down many times. LeAnn Pugliese who created a beautiful card using this paper encouraged me to give it a try. I am happy the way it came together, although it's a pretty clean and simple compared to Leanne's. 

PRODUCTS USED:

SU Basic Grey, Grey Granite CS, In Good Taste DSP

MFT Essential Sentiments, MFT A2 Rectangle Stax Die

Gina K Fine Black Embossing Powder for the sentiment

I'm off to clean up my crafting space then on to cooking dinner.  I'm making Salmon Patties tonight which is one of my hubbies and my favorite diners. I hope you have a good evening. 

Stay safe and Well!

Youth is a Gift

Hi all. I took some time this Sunday after church to create a card that I am going to post over on CAS Colours and Sketches. This was just a quick, no fuss Birthday card that I created for an old family friend who is turning 90 on August 8th. I'm sure he will get a chuckle from the sentiment.

The paper is from SU In Good Taste DSP. I struggled with it although I knew I wanted to keep it simple and masculine and thought this paper fit well. I used SU Basic Grey and a sentiment from an old set I've had for quite some time. ( company unknown) I inked that with Night of Navy and then reinked it with VeraMark so I could emboss it using Clear Embossing Powder by Gina K.

The front panel was cut with MFT Stitched Rectangle Die-namics, embossed with SU Subtle 3D folder, and the circles cut with SU Stitched Shapes.

That's about it for today. I'm hoping on getting a chance to put together some cards for friends or a least get them prepped. I pray for you have a blessed rest of the day and week. Stay safe and well.

Blessings,

Bernie B
