Guy Greetings PCCCS #178

Hello and welcome to another warm Wednesday in Melbourne :-) Summer is great and this week we have the Australian Tennis Open here keeping holiday makers happy too!

This week at The Paper Craft Crew we have a new sketch for you and the design team have created a great variety of cards to inspire you so I hope you can take a moment to pop on over and have a look :-)

Here is the sketch:

And here is my card :-)

Yes, another masculine card! This one is for a friend who has a passion for vintage car racing and so this car image was the perfect choice for him. I decided to keep the colour scheme "classic" - black, white and gold and just a little (ok a LOT :-)) of Lost Lagoon to add a little "modern" in the mix as well.

The sentiment is from the FREE set available during all of Saleabration called Perfect Pairings. I clear embossed the Happy Birthday part and you may be able to see the shine in the picture below a little better. It is so easy to do - just have both Versamark and the coloured ink pad open. First ink the stamp with Versamark and without cleaning, ink in the coloured ink and stamp. Then add the clear embossing powder and heat as usual and voila - all done!! 

Card stock: Lost Lagoon, Basic Black, Gold Foil, Whisper White

Ink: Lost Lagoon, Momento Tuxedo Black, Versamark

Stamps: Guy Greetings, Perfect Pairings

Accessories: Big Shot, Lots of Labels Framelits, Stylish Stripes EF, Trip;e Banner Punch, Metallic Sequins Assortment, Gold Buttons, Gold Metallic Thread, Clear EP, Black EP (Car)

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you can take a moment and stop by The Paper Craft Crew and see all the cards the team have made to inspire you and I look forward to seeing what you will make with this sketch too!

Happy stamping until next time,

Guy Greetings for PCCCSC 154

It's Wednesday and that means it's time for a fun new sketch from The Paper Craft Crew.  The Team have created a fantastic variety of cards to inspire you so I hope you can take a moment to pop on over and see :-)

Here is the sketch:

And here is my card :

 If you've come from The Paper Craft Crew site you may notice one small change to my card to what is shown there - that is the addition of the White perfect accent to the black Satin bow. It just seemed a little dark to me and after first trying some linen thread as a bow on top of the ribbon, the white accent indeed seemed the "perfect" choice (sorry about the pun, but it is true!!) This was my first play with the Guy Greetings set and I did enjoy the fun of the contrast of the orange DSP to the otherwise black and white card. What do you think? I often find male cards easier than female ones - a CAS dream really ….and in this case the scattered silver sequins look a bit like hubcaps don't they?? LOL!! Well, I think they could do :-)
