Today I'm sharing a masculine card with lots of circles that is also entered in the Use Your Stuff challenge, so Trouble Maker, Twisted Sister and Double Dare at Double Trouble Challenge #58 should all be happy.
The DAD stamps are from SU; everything else is CTMH.
I started out stamping the letters on gray cs, fussy cut them, and then decided I didn't like them. I also dry embossed the background with a gear design, but it doesn't show up very well.
And since I already had the gray letters ready to use, I did.
Both cards will work well for Father's Day, birthday, or just about any occasion.

Love both cards, Debi. I'm sure the dry embossing is much more evident in person, but I can see the outlined gears since you mentioned them and I looked for them. The colours work so well together for this masculine theme. I love the simplicity of simply spelling out Dad, especially using those "fancy" letters. Thanks so much for sharing with us for the Cardz 4 Guyz challenge this fortnight.
ReplyDeleteThat paper goes WAYYYY back! Love the due cut letters and that you did the top ones from patterned paper. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)
