My card today is another masculine one and I took my inspiration from two challenges. The layout is from CAS Colours & Sketches and Cardz 4 Guyz has "Shades of Blue" as the theme.
I started this one with a Pacific Point base. On a piece of Basic White I alternated strips of Balmy Blue, Pacific Point and Misty Moonlight to follow the sketch. After I had the strips adhered I cut down the Basic White panel with the largest of the Stitched Rectangle dies. Since the sketch is clean and simple I wanted to add a bit of detail without making the card "heavier" and some stitching helps with that.
The hat is Misty Moonlight cardstock and ink and then cut out with the Hat Builder dies. The patch is inked up with markers and then stamped on Basic White and then cut out. I love all the stitch detailing with these dies; I really think it adds so much to the style. This is a bundle that I hope Stampin' Up! keeps around and even adds some more patch stamps sports and other interests in future catalogs.
Since this is a guy card and supposed to be CAS I only added a few white candy dots and 2 stamped stars as extras.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
