Morning all, rather a damp Bank Holiday for a few of us but the rain was sorely needed to fill the water tanks and quench the parched ground.
Anyway, it's time for a brand new challenge over at Cardz4Guyz. This time our theme is perfect for masculine cards as it's:-
SHADES of BLUE
Here's my take.
I decided to use some DP in shades of blue from my scraps drawer to cut out a few candles with my MFT Birthday Candles die set, along with the flames cut from card scraps. I've had this set for ages and this is it's first outing so I will be linking up over at Darnell's NEBUS challenge!
I had this aperture panel floating around in my bits box, so before it got beyond use I decided to trim it down and frame my die cut candles with it. A die cut sentiment, sorry can't remember the brand, was added to my top panel before it was popped up on foam pads over my candles, which I'd previously glued to my base card. A very simple and easy to replicate design, just switch up the colours for a totally different vibe!
So what would you do? As always we look forward to seeing your MASCULINE makes in our gallery. The team have come up with some other ideas for you here, if you need them ;) .

Happy 16th Birthday!

I love the way the circle aperture frames the flaming candles, Jules! It's a great birthday design which can be used for any age and any gender and, as you said, so versatile with different colors/patterns for the candles. Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Glad you got some much-needed rain! Hugs, Darnell
