My husband, Scott, has a birthday this week. I combined Mojo176 with the opportunity to get a masculine card created for him.
This week's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge 176 is based on one of my personal sketches. Thanks, Julee T. for giving it a whirl. I chose "square." However, you get your choice.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
Texture and clean graphics are always a good recipe for a "man" card. Card base is 5 1/4" square. - Stampin' Up! Circle Punches in four different sizes were the foundation of the card. My favorite part is the Basic Gray on Basic Gray texture. Subtle but cool.
- A Color Coach inspired the combination of Basic Gray, Cajun Craze and Baja Breeze. A good masculine combo with a twist of retro!
- New to the Color Coach? Click to watch my video tutorial.
COMING UP! If my video cooperates today, my latest on-line video class will launch tomorrow. Otherwise, I may have to fire the cameraman and producer (me–LOL). The "Spring Flowers" projects are done and I can't wait to share.
