One of the absolute hardest challenges for me, is coming up with masculine cards for anniversaries and Valentine's... it's not like a birthday or Father's day, where it can be straight up masculine... you need some hearts and lovey dovey stuff, but it has to be JUST right! I think I did good for hubby's card for our 10 year anniversary yesterday... he liked it at least :)
I used the brick wall DSP from the Well Worn collection, and thought it would be a great idea to have the hearts/sentiment on the "wall" like it was graffiti... I really think it worked! I used the
Unscripted Sketches sketch and the
Hand Stamped Sentiments Masculine Theme challenge came at the perfect time.
And the challenges are...
Definitely like graffiti on a wall. Very cool and definitely masculine and still filled with love. :) I like the embellishments, too. Gives it a nice manly touch. Thanks for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the needing hearts or something "lovey" in a masculine card for anniversaries and Valentines Day. And this card turned out PERFECT for that tricky theme. The colors and DSP work so well to fit the challenge. Thanks for adding your fabulous card to our challenge this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments. Smiles, Elizabeth
