Morning, time for another new challenge from Cardz4Guyz. This time our theme for your masculine makes is:-
GRATEFUL, THANKFUL, BLESSED
Here's my card using a few bits I had hanging around!
I'd been playing around with the theme for quite awhile but was spurred into action when I saw the sketch over at The Paper Players, regular visitors know I love a sketch!
I found some old hessian scraps in my drawer, which I cut to fit diagonally across my card base before adding my central panel of die cut and then embossed Kraft panels over white. I did notice that my memory of the sketch was slightly off the actual after I'd glued the hessian strip down, hope that's OK!
The scrunched up a leaf I die cut from some Brusho covered card for another project and never used but I pimped it up by adding some Inka gold wax. The gold embossed sentiment was stamped with a Sugar Pea sentiment onto a die cut white panel. As this is a masculine card, I didn't feel the need to add extras and kept it pretty CAS.
Joining in over at:-
That leave is gorgeous!! As always our card offers great inspiration for those who decide to play along with our Grateful/Thankful/Blessed challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz!! #C4G361
ReplyDeleteWhat a great autumnal make Julie, lovely colours and texture x
ReplyDeleteJulie, the leaf looks almost real, I had to look closely at it and I must say it turned out so gorgeous! What a beautiful take on my sketch and I really love the woven fiber you used for the cross strip (and the placement is fine). I appreciate you joining us this week at The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteI love this leaf, Julie, and it's perfect stretched across the embossed rectangles! The burlap ribbon adds even more fantastic texture!
ReplyDeleteThis leaf is a gorgeous focal point, Julie. The colors are beautiful. There is so much yummy texture on your card. The burlap ribbon is perfect for the strip. Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteThe leaf is a little work of art! I like the texture that the hessian gives - perfect for that autumnal, rustic feel of the card. Thanks for joining in with us at The Paper Players - and I love a good sketch too! :-)
