Birthday for a Male


sketch238TGIF... for those of you who work and don't spend all day at their home desk; no I really have been busy elsewhere in the home today, made cauliflower soup and the filling for beef and mushroom pies, also the sheets and towels are blowing madly on the line because the sun came out today. Anyway I need a card for a male and when I saw colours on the Fusion #1 challenge I thought maybe blokeish colours so I've teamed it with the layout at Unscripted Sketches #238...and come up with this card.  I also tried something a bit different; creating the background by using distress ink on my embossing folder, spritzing the card and quickly running it through the cuttlebug - I like how it's blotchy and the pattern being white really stands out. Thanks for taking a peek  Robyn

  1. Love this Robyn! And I LOVE that background! SUCH a cool look, although I don't get why the raised edges didn't get the spritzer, too. I just might have to fiddle around with that myself...I really like the look you've achieved! The gray/black & white focal point is nice for a masculine card, too...great job...not my strong suit!;) Thanks for fitting FUSION into your day, Robyn...do come back!!!
