We have a brand new challenge at Time Out. For the next couple of weeks, it's "Theme with a twist" challenge. The theme: masculine; the twist: mixed media (two other elements that add texture and/or dimension).
I went with the theme and twist (die-cuts and stencil) for my card and made this birthday card. I wanted to take one of the brand new CUTplorations dies, Crazy Double-Stitched Rectangles, for a test drive (available beginning July 3; read about product sneak peek here). I used the medium rectangle die then stamped the postage frame, vintage car, and postmark (Gone Postal), as well as the sentiment (Party Time), on the panel. On my card base I applied chipped sapphire Distress ink through an ARTplorations stencil (Bubbles) then I adhered the die-cut panel onto it with foam tape and the card is done.
Check out the cards the team + guest designer Patti made and then link up your own project inspired by the phrase. Sponsoring this challenge is STAMPlorations. We can't wait to see your creations!
Linking up my card to this month's CAS Mix Up Challenge. My extra is stenciling.
This month's optional color in the STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge is blue and the theme in the STAMPlorations Challenge is Stamps & Celebration, so I'm linking my card in both.

Also linking at 613 Avenue Create #180, where it's Anything Goes + optional twist of Create Your Own Challenge. I went with A2 (C1/Card Type), Birthday (C2/Event), and stencil (C3/Trends).
...and CASology #202, where this week it's all about masculine cards.

ReplyDeleteI love how your blue stenciled bubbles background makes your main images pop. LOVE your Crazy-Double Stitched Rectangles...looks similar, but different from a sewn edge. The die is going right into my wishlist! Great guy design Shery. TFS my friend.
