we just made it through our second major germ war in the same school term in time to send DD off to her school camp. My beloved offspring both kindly shared their germs both times with me too. Given that it's only the beginning of winter as you can imagine I'm really hoping we will be immune for the rest!! With the upcoming school holidays I am trying to plan ahead for upcoming events, so I was keen to use this week's new Just Add Ink challenge - this week it's a colour combo from me - to get a head start on Father's Day. Here's the colour combo.
And this is what I made for my Dad.
Texture, texture, texture is what you want for a masculine card and I packed a few different ones in here. Lots of earthy linen thread, shiny black embossed details, staples and stitching. I thought the black really added some punch into the more subtle colours of the colour combo. All the inky details add lots of depth too.
So can you see yourself putting these colours to good use? Hope you can join us this week. Don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT did with the colours you'll be impressed!
Thanks for visiting,
Kim

Sorry you've all been crook again so soon. Let's hope you're right about being immune for the remainder of the cold months. This is an awesome masculine card, so many great details and texture. I'm going to take your advice for my next male card, thanks for sharing your tips :) x

ReplyDeleteHope your feeling better soon - let's hope that's it for the year! Such a beautiful card Kim - love how you've paired the car and the Map and how your stitched die goes so well with your stitched edging. xo
ReplyDeleteI think all the layers and textures work together and are fabulous. That World Map background stamp looks fantastic too and using a tassell was a brilliant stroke. Love this card!
