Color Smash Masculine Card
I sat down and played a little with two techniques from last week, COLOR SMASH and COLOR RESIST. I went with a masculine look and a simple design.
I must confess, the card I originally envisioned turned out terrible! It happens all the time, a vision doesn't quite work in reality. Well, that happened with this card! I had planned on adding a butterfly over this background, but it was too busy and didn't look quite right. So, I improvised and added a simple sentiment turning this into a fantastic masculine card!
The background has leaves embossed from Butterfly Basics then color added with the COLOR SMASH technique. I only used two colors for the color smash, Mint Macaron and Wild Wasabi. I added in a bolder sentiment in Mossy Meadow so it would stand out from the background.
Of course I had to add a leaf to the envelope, I love to coordinate! I also added a nice sentiment inside with the hostess set Happy Birthday Everyone but forgot to take a pic...oops! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this masculine version and give these techniques a try!
Also, today the NEW MINI SESSION from Create with Connie and Mary is available and I am so excited! For only $8.95 you get 5 step by step tutorials, 3 card sets and two 3D items! We even have a sneak peek snippet for you and the sets featured. For all the details visit Create with Connie and Mary....I hope you'll join us!
