Solid Stripes

The last card I made was for the ladies but now I've made another for men. At least I think that it is even though it has a bow attached. The strong clean lines if the stripes and the muted colours suggest masculine rahter than feminine to me. Enough analysis!

I can't believe that I can make so many cards. I haven't even looked at the scrapbook pages as yet. They keep on staring at me every time that I open the box. I'll get around to them soon I know.

Have a look at the card and see if you agree.

To make this card I used:

Paper from the Take Out The Stash Box.

Light Blue Grosgrain ribbon.

Savvy Stamps 'Best Wishes' rubber stamp.

A5 white card

Small pieces of blue and brown card

Brilliance Ink: Tiramisu

Clear embossing powder

Bowshaper

3d foam pads

Method

Fold the A5 card in half to make the base card

Cover the bottom two thirds of the card with the paper and glue to the card. Trim to give a neat finish.

Stamp the message on to a piece of white card, making sude that you pick up one colour on one word and an alternative colour on the other. Emboss with clear embossing powder and heat to fix. Edge with the ink pad.

Mount with blue and brown card leaving a margin.

Stick to the base card as shown.

Tie a bow from the blue ribbon and attach to the base card with 3d foam pads.
