Dynamic Birthday

It has been a while since I posted, I can't believe how busy I have been of late. I have had a little bit of time to create including a weekend retreat which was great and I will post some of my creations over the next week or so. Anyway enough excuses, I had a moment on the weekend and spotted the Dynamic Duos colour challenge and thought I would use them for a masculine birthday card I need.

I think that Feeling Sentimental and That's The Ticket go perfectly together and make quite a good masculine card.  The addition of Early Espresso to Island Indigo and Pool Party add a masculine edge, as do the brads.  

Hopefully I will have time to do some more creating and posting soon!

Happy Stamping

Mojo Monday 278

After my last post I decided to go back and create a card for the current Mojo Monday sketch challenge (not one a month old lol).  This sketch had me scratching my head for a while but I was determined to conquer it!

I decided to go with something a little monochromatic and masculine.  The base card is Midnight Muse, which I have layered with brushed gold and some of the Natural Composition DSP brayered with Midnight Muse to bring out the embossed pattern.  In the picture this has come up with a lovely gold hue.  I am not sure about the scalloped circle sentiment, I may keep fiddling with that and see if I come up with anything else!

The main stamped image is from Feeling Sentimental set from the Sale-A-Bration promotion, the sentiment from Petite Pairs.

I did a re-work of the sentiment, I think this one fits with the feel of the card more than the first.  I added some corner stamping with another of the Sale-A-Bration sets Madison Avenue.

Can you believe I still wasn't happy with my card?  I have made one FINAL change to the sentiment and am now going to leave it well alone!
