Manly Sketch Challenge

Splitcoast had a challenge for this card layout and I made it masculine like my Stampin' Pretty Pals' challenge. It's Father's Day weekend! Hooray for all of the fathers who take the time to guide their children from their earliest days and throughout life. I used the Oval All stamp set and stamped onto the Kiwi Kiss Urban Oasis print. Then I stamped the same image onto the back of textured Kiwi Kiss and popped it out with my Oval Punch and adhered it over the first image. Now the dimensional Just for You is surrounded by stars! There are so many colors in this paper that it was hard to figure out which ones I should matte with. I chose to use one dark (Basic Black) and one light (Baja Breeze) paper. The bottom right corner looked like it needed something, so I chose a corner punch in a print to match the opposite side of my card. Thanks for looking! I love comments.
I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about Stampin' Up or my creations. Of course you can always shop with me 24/7!

Excellent job once again! This reminds me of the old Irish Spring soap commercials..."Manly yes, but I like it, too!" I love the way that you did the "Just for You"!

Excellent use of mixing designer paper to create a masculine card . . . love the stand you use to "stage" your cards. Very charming. Hugs, Mary

I didn't get this paper...perhaps I should have! You did a great job putting all the different patterns together!

Very nice--I can always use more ideas for masculine cards!

I love how you used the different patterns of the paper on one card.

Very fun card, Patti!
