A roar of a birthday ...

I needed a masculine birthday card for my brother so I headed over to Tuesday Morning Sketches to see what they had this week.  I thought this was a great sketch to go with ...

 

From that I made this ...

 

Stamps:  Zoo Review, Plane & Simple (SU)

Paper:  White, Gray

DP:  Bolds Basics (Recollections)

Ink:  Memento Black

Accessories:  circle dies (Spellbinders), Copics, word window punch, bitty banners die (SU), pop dots, eyelets, twine

 

I did leave out the scallop circle ... thought that might be a little much for my brother.  I added a bit of hardware and twine to give some depth.  This was a fast card to put together.

 

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

 

Have a great day,

Pam~





It's a sketch day

Today is all about a sketch at the Pals Paper Arts.  Our Pal, Margaret Moody, came up with another great looking artistic challenge for us.  

For this sketch I wanted to use my new stamp set, Plane & Simple, from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  This is a good set to crank out some masculine cards.  My inky fingers flew to work and created this ...

Stamps:  Plane & Simple

Paper:  Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgandy, More Mustard

DSP:  Always Artichoke

Ink:  Bravo Burgandy

Accessories:  Paper Shapers Scissors, eyelets (antique), crop-a-dile, mat pack,  sponge dauber

All products are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

This card is just like the stamp set ... plain and simple and I like it. 

I'm missing my stamps and blogging so much.  There is a lot going on here and hopefully within the next couple of days I will be able to sit in my comfort zone and create.  Until then ...

Have a great day,

Pam~
