Make the Cards Challenge #9 Masculine

This is a new challenge for me and I happen to see that the challenge this week was masculine.  Well, I just made a card for my neighbor that will fit and I am entering it this week.  

This card was created with Stampin Up stamp called Whiskey Business.  The sentiment is from the same stamp.  I combined it with an embossing folder that looks like wood.  colored with Copics. 

Don't forget the inside, this set has some great sentiments. 

I am entering this in this weeks Make the Card Challenge #9

Seize the Birthday #210 - Sketch

Here it is the last two weeks of March and we have a different challenge for you. Glenda is our hostess and she has chosen a Sketch for those of you that want to do the toppings.  This is exciting as I don't believe that we have ever had a sketch before.  So I hope that you decide to do the topping for this challenge. 

Of course, if you are not a toppings kind of person, you can just do anything. 

Remember to make it a Birthday Theme. 

I had fun with this sketch and here is what I came up with.

Color Hues Challenge - #13 Yellow and Blue

Just a quick post for the newer Challenge that Nancy Leppek and her team do every two weeks.  Fun to get your mojo going again. 

Here we go!

I was lucky to see this background in my stash that already gave me a head start on this card. It was done a while ago with heat embossing then washi tape and lastly, the sponged on colors of yellow and blue. I just added the flower from GKD A Little Love stencil kit.  The You die is GKD's too. 

I will be entering this in the Color Cue for this challenge.
