My sister Connie is a very creative stamper and comes up with cards I really enjoy. They are always eye-catching and a little different. A couple months ago she sent my hubby a birthday card that I really liked. Since then, one of the items on her card has been retired - the twill tape. I struggled to find something else to use instead, but didn't really like the looks of any of the ribbons or threads I tried. So instead, I made her card without any extra embellishment at all. I'm happy to say that I liked it just fine. So here's the updated version of Connie's card that the ladies in Hostess Club made....
Stamps: Daring Adventure
Ink: Not Quite Navy and Early Espresso
Paper: Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand, Early Espresso, Not Quite Navy, and Baja Breeze
Accessories: Big Shot with Square Lattice TIEF, and Dimensionals
Wow, that's probably the fewest items I've used on a card in a long, looooong while! It has really clean lines, and the hardest part is just cutting all the little layers with only an 1/8" difference. Sometimes embossing cardstock changes the dimensions a bit, so I did a little trimming on the Early Espresso layers to make them look right.
So if you're in the market for a masculine card, this one sure fits the bill nicely. Thanks for the idea Connie! It really worked out well even without the twill tape accent on it! Happy stamping, Sharon
