There's a color challenge going on at the
Play Date Cafe and I decided to play along. The colors looked earthy to me so I decided to use elements with a lot of texture to them. I think it would be great for a masculine Thank You card.
Edit: I was Play Date Cafe's Cup of the Week Winner with this card!This is a close-up of the "Thank You" element of the card. The silver frame around the epoxy sentiment is something I picked up years ago at JoAnn's on the clearance wall. It's been sitting in a drawer just begging to be used on a card! I also had some cork stickers so I placed one of them on a Sahara Sand Labels 1 which I then glued to Hawaiian Shores felt. I didn't like the plain turquoise brads with all of the other gems so I just put tiny gems on top of the brads.
Here's the finished card. The rust cardstock was embossed with the Quikutz retro diamond embossing folder. I added gemstones for pizazz! I used a strip of bendable netting I bought to use on a beach layout. I wrapped it with this cool fiber I've had forever and it seemed just right for this card. The butterflies were the final touch. The turquoise one has it's own bling and stamped swirls. Then I rounded all of the corners and deemed it was complete! Let me know what you think!
