Today, I have a card to share that I made for my husband's birthday last month. Masculine cards are very difficult for me to make. I tend to gravitate to flowers and bows which is what happened here. But, I don't think it turned out too feminine.
Recollections kraft cardstock was used as the card base. The pattern papers are from Farm House Paper Company. I used a punch to create the banner and glued it to a piece of hemp. Rhinestones from Michael's were placed between each pennant. The alphabet stickers, ruler border and label are from October Afternoon. Another piece of hemp was tied into a bow through a Dear Lizzy button and placed in the center of a Prima flower. Sentiment is from PTI. I really love the papers and was pleased with how the card turned out.
Thank you for your sweet comments and best wishes for my health. It seems I have a pinched nerve and started medication today to get rid of the inflammation. If this doesn't work, then I will need physical therapy. Here's hoping it doesn't go that far! It has been uncomfortable. I don't have time for this--lol!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Hope to be back soon. As always, thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi Pat,
ReplyDeleteMasculine card is harder to make for me too. I like the colors combo. Yes, I am one of those who is happy with no snow. My kids wanted snow too. Hope you'll feel better soon.
Lovely card sweet flags.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet comments on my blog - I really appreciate it :) The hearts that I used on my card are actually from a Pink Paislee die-cut package (the 'Sweet Love' series).
HI..This card looks lovely, and I too have difficulty with male cards.. t is so easy to put flowers on everything!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear your neck is still a problem. Hope the medication gets things under control. I ended up having todo 6 weeks of physical therapy when I pulled my neck....and it's still a mess. Wishing better for you!
ReplyDeleteLove your fun birthday card! Masculine, but still with a few fun flourishes, which totally works! Love the kraft and the banner, too!
Happy weekend!
