Today's concoction is great for a guy, since I had to make a card for my FIL's birthday. The colors for JCC11 are :
- more mustard
- always artichoke
- sahara sand
This card was also made for the Featured Stamper challenge on SCS. I chose to CASE THIS CARD from sparklegirl. She had originally used Beate layout, so I switched it up. I also did faux stitching and lost a few layers to make mine different from hers.
I cut out the mustard with the Nestie in my Cuttlebug , and both are available from All That Scraps. I then layered on the sahara, and artichoke. I stamped the image from Winds Of Grace in artichoke on confetti white, and then sponged the edges in the same color.
I cut my artichoke out, sponged it and added the faux stitching with my mat pack and artichoke marker. I matted it on sahara and then added the jumbo eyelets, with my crop-a-dile. I cut a piece of sahara, sponged it with the artichoke and stamped the sentiment on it (It's Your Birthday). I ran some twill tape through my mustard ink, and set it with my heat tool. I added a buckle from my Aged Copper hodge podge kit, and used sticky strip to adhere it to the layer. This was then added to the artichoke, and all of it was matted to the mustard base, which measures 5.5 X 5.5. The only thing left to do was add my image panel, and I did that with dimensionals.
Feel free to play along! If you upload your photo to SCS, be sure to use the keyword JCC11. If you put it on your blog, link it back here so I can check it out. If you are done before Saturday, you will be included in the draw to receive a card from me!

Lovely card, Julie! It took a minute to realize that the navy background was not part of the card! Maybe you'd like to incorporate the navy in another card!
