My husband commissioned (my fancy way of saying I forced him to let me make a card for him) this card to send to his former boss who has moved onto a new position in the company. I thought this would be harder than it was as his former boss is about our age, a guy, single and probably way cooler than we are and let's face it...how many single dudes even care about cards? But I wanted to do a good job and not embarrass my husband! =)
Basic Gray is a nice color to use on masculine cards and I paired it with Very Vanilla. The large top layer of Very Vanilla was run through the Big Shot with the new Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder (yes I have used this a lot lately! Hope you're not too sick if it yet!).
I wrapped a bit of Basic Gray taffeta ribbon (retired- Booooo!!) around the embossed panel and then topped it with the Thank You sentiment from Thank You Kindly. I used the ticket corner punch to jazz up that panel.
There you go.... ***Edited to add: I totally forgot to say that I got the inspiration for this card at Pals Paper Arts. They are having a
Masculine KISS (Keep It Simple, Sweetie) Challenge this week. This card fits the bill I think!
Stamps: Thank You Kindly
Ink: Basic Gray
Paper: Basic Gray, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Basic Gray taffeta ribbon (retired), ticket corner punch, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder
