Remember I discovered a new challenge out in Blogland called Seize the Birthday? (See link in blog badge to the right of this post.) I am really pleased with this as I want to build up a stash of birthday cards. This is the second week of their first sketch. The first week was for feminine cards, and this week is for masculine cards. Here is the sketch we were given:
I made two cards for men. Both feature calligraphy stamps from Quietfire Design. I used the colour scheme provided by the final CR84FN Color Challenge which is aqua, tan and light yellow.
My first card relied on designer paper to do most of the work, with a Spellbinders die providing the mat for the focal sentiment.
