Masculine Birthday Card

Hello-

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving :-)  I celebrated mine by running a 5k in the morning, and filling up on sweet potatoes in the afternoon! PERFECT!

Today's card is a masculine card I made for my cousin, Jeff.

I stamped the Ocean Tides panel with a background from Market Street Stamps. I used Ocean Tides Ink for the argyle.  

I used Birthday Tags 2012 for the circular element, stamped in Kraft.

The front sentiment and the inside sentiment are both from the Think Big Favorites collection.

Thanks for stopping by!

Papertrey August Blog Hop!

Well it certainly has been a LONG time since I have participated in the monthly hop...but I finally found some free time!

This month's inspiration colors really spoke to me, I love neutral, masculine colors. You can see the original inspiration pieces here.

For my card, I chose to focus on the Argyle pattern, and the colors.  I noticed just a hint of orange in the inspiration photos, and chose to bring that in using the little flower center.

I used the new Think Big favorites (from August) and Lovely Layers (love this set!).  I used Ocean Tides, Ripe Avocado, Kraft, Canyon Clay and Dark Chocolate as my colors.

Don't forget about the Team Nicholas fundraiser! See this post for details.

Thanks for hopping by!
