It is time for another challenge at The Perfect Sentiment! This week's challenge is "Masculine Birthdays." The challenge: create a card with a birthday sentiment. The twist: make the card masculine. Here is my card:
This challenge is perfect, because my husband's birthday is just over a week away, so I used this challenge to create a card for him! I think he will like it. :) The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4." I used a dark silver cardstock for the card base. I then trimmed some teal polka dotted cardstock 1/8" smaller. I used Cricut Craft Room to create my next layer. I used a rectange from Cricut Craft Room Basics and sized it at 5 1/4"x4." I then added the "33rd" from Robotz. I cut it out of silver cardstock, then I removed the "33rd" and used the negative image. I stamped "happy" above the number and "birthday" below using a stamp I found in my stash. I then embossed the silver layer with the Diamond Plate embossing folder and my Cuttlebug. I adhered this layer to the teal layer with foam tape because I like the added dimension it created.
I hope you enjoyed my card and I hope you join us at The Perfect Sentiment. I can't wait to see what you create!
Perfect guy card! Lee-Ann :)
ReplyDeleteLike your use of the Diamond Plate embossing folder which is my go to embossing folder for masculine cards as you can see in my card I created. I also like the cut thru age characters done with the Cricut. I always find it a bit harder to make a masculine card. Enjoying being Sept Guest Designer for Perfect Sentiments.
