Its been a week of work for hubs and today I finally get to play! I need lots of birthday cards. My Stash is empty save for the one end of January card that will be mailed Monday.
I'll be entering this card to four challenges - MFT Sketch Challenge, Color Throwdown, Seize the Birthday, (no toppings) and Casology. Looking at all these challenges a more masculine card came to mind, though I use polka dots and a scripty sentimnet.
I'm considering that big scripty sentiment my circular element for MFT Sketches. The stamp set is SMile from MFT. My inks is Hero Arts Navy.
What do you think? Did I pull off a masculine feel, despite the polka dots and scripty sentiment?
Thanks for stopping by!
I think polka dots work on most any card, masculine or feminine! This is a great birthday design. Thanks for joining us for this week's Color Throwdown!
ReplyDeleteYes! This is a great masculine card! I really like the color of the card base with the polka dot. Really cool.
ReplyDeleteTotally a guy card, Cat! The charcoal and black along with the outdoor green keeps it all feeling organic ~ and you can't help but smile!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteAgree with Lori - polka dots go with any kind of card, don't they! Love how you've kept the card so CAS, and the message big and beautiful! Than you so much for joining us at the Seize the Birthday challenge!
ReplyDeleteYou have nailed it again Cat. I particularly like the green dotty strip with the black edges, it finishes the card beautifully xx
