Here’s a fun card perfect for anyone, but I think the geometric shapes and the color combination of Blueberry Bushel, Gray Granite, and Whisper White really lends itself to a masculine feel. I’ve used a lot of texture and patterns for interest on the card starting with the Wood Planks Embossing Folder on the background, then the 2 different prints from the Best Route Designer Series Paper.
Color Combo
I love the happy outlined script of the sentiment from the Blow Out the Candles stamp set. It’s really all that is needed for the focal point. I finished it off with a little row of the Metallic Pearls.

Supply List
I really, really like this card. Don’t have the DSP, the stamp set, or the ribbons, but this card makes me want it all, heehee! I LOVE the two ribbons layered together! I thought it was a new two-tone ribbon until I looked at the supply list and then looked more closely at the card. It’s perfect. Great job, Tina.
Oh how sweet of you Luralyn. I love it when something I share makes people want to make it.
