Masculine

Morning- my third and last post for today is my first DT card for Sparkles Monthly. The challenge chosen by Helen is Masculine. I used a sketch from Try a sketch on a Tuesday and used some of my strips of paper from an ever growing pile, b, paper from Craft O'Clock, sentiment from Chocolate Baroque, die-cut circle was in my oddments and a TH die-cut figure.


Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

Glad you were able to find so many patterned papers from your ever growing stash for this challenge, they they are all so complementary of each other and the silhouette was a good choice for the focal point. Thank you for sharing your handsome card with us at TSOT.

Very handsome masculine card. Great textures, patterns, and colours! So happy you shared with us at Path of Positivity. Katrina

Lisa said...

Your masculine card has such strong presence with the moody blues and bold stripes setting the stage for the silhouette figure, and the sketch works perfectly with your paper strips while the clean sentiment and balanced layout give the whole design a sleek modern look.

Completely stylish indeed, I find masculine makes so difficult to think of, I'm loving the bold stripes too. The sentiment is fab!! I did try and comment @ Sparkles but I could find the link so just had to come find you. Thank you for the inspiration Carol.
