I am currently working on birthday cards for a friend who collects them for nursing homes. I decided to make a couple masculine cards. It seems it is always easier to make a feminine card rather than a masculine card.
I have been doing some inked backgrounds using some new stencils from My Favorite Things which has the shape (rectangle) cut out of it. I used three different oxide inks for the background.
The current challenge at Seize The Birthday is to use a non neutral card base. I used a dark blue (not navy) card base.
The silhouette stamp is from Gina K Designs. The sentiment is also from Gina K Designs. The sentiment is embossed in black on the blue strip. It is very difficult to see. I probably should have done white on the dark blue.
Since I had the stamps out and the panels inked, I decided to make anniversary cards for my daughters who both have fall anniversaries. The stamps are from Gina K also.
Thanks for stopping by.

I love both of these so much! Your backgrounds are incredible! What a kind heart you have too! Thanks for playing along with us at Seize the Birthday!
Your background blending is terrific, and these do make wonderful masculine cards, which is what I struggle with, so using blues and then those silhouettes is a fabulous idea! Thank you so much for joining us at Seize the Birthday!
