Masculine Card Thank You #2 / Blog Candy Winner

Today as I was cleaning off my desk, I came across some bits and pieces left over from when I was creating a card for the 3 challenges I had entered on Wednesday. I had the card base, had added a strip of Cajun Craze to the embossed piece, and had the Thank You  which I had also decided against using.

I was just going to file them away for another time, but thought why not see if I could put a card together.  BINGO, I was able to create another Masculine Thank You in less then 20 minutes! Don't you just love when that happens? This one also has a nautical theme, but I used the By the Sea shell stamp from this set and keep it to just a two color combination. Since the SUO challenge is still in effect, I will be entering it there for my last post of the week.

Speaking of posts, I have a winner of my 500th. post by a random drawing.

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
