Here's a quick and fun birthday card I made using an embossing folder with tiny stars, a SNSS scalloped star border die and 2 different star punches. The background is dark brown and I used Crumb Cake, Kraft, and remnants of light blue cardstock for the stars and border. The SNSS sentiment was heat-embossed with white on dark brown and the tiny red stars were negatives from a SSS star border die. I think this will be a great masculine birthday card when the occasion calls for one.
Make My Monday challenge #126 - stars and/or stripes
Seize the Birthday #194 - red, white and blue
(Hope the light blue color is OK )
We're still sweltering here in PA but it could be so much worse, so I won't complain. I'm beyond grateful for our old a/c unit that continues working even at it's older age! (fingers crossed)
Thanks for the visit and I hope you are comfortable where you are! Take care and stay well!

ReplyDeleteYour card is perfect for our challenge, no worries! I think the lighter blue was a perfect choice! It really makes the fun layout shine! Thanks for being with us at Seize the Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love blue mixed with Brown, my favourite colour combination when I used to scrapbook so yes definitely a great masculine card as are stars. I love your array of different size stars in varying colours and the sentiment has a retro feel... urgh, we have rain... the UK weather really is pants! x
ReplyDeleteStars are always great for a masculine birthday card! And, love how you designed your card with all the stars! I’m sure the recipient will love this card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun masculine card Carol! I love the color combo and all those stars. It has texture, curves and is just plain fun. Yes, we have been sweltering haven't we?! I've been staying in the pool a lot, only thing besides ac that beats the heat. Old doesn't mean bad Carol, old mean built to last! lol Stay cool my friend. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteBeautiful embossed card Carol, great colour choices.

Great colour combination and embossing, makes a wonderful masculine card Carol. At the moment I would swap your warm/hot weather, we have had the heating on in the evenings a few times this week, definitely not Summer in July here in Wales.

This is super cute, Carol! Loving all the stars on this one especially the embossing folder! I seem to use that one alot! Great color combo and love the embossed sentiment! Well done! TFS and stay cool! I hope soon we get a cool down! My AC has been running non stop!
ReplyDeleteGreat design and it is a perfect masculine card too. We have heat and yesterday a thunderstorm with heavy rain, strong winds and HAIL! What?
ReplyDeleteReally cool design here Carol! I don't know what it is about stars that attract me so much, but I love all of the star themed designs I see and I have many star products, but hardly get them out to play with! Love that you've even put stars on each of the scallops! Nicely done my friend! HUGS
ReplyDeleteLove this wonderful card! Your choice of colors with the stars will definitely make any guy happy. (now you just need to find one!) Thank you for playing with us at the Make My Monday Challenge and hope you can join us again soon.
