One For The Boys

Hello friends and followers.  This week I have been playing with an orange, brown and buff colour palette for a male birthday card.  I find this colour palette with the die cut star and circle background stamping works well.

I blended distress inks in yellows and oranges onto an oblong of  smooth white card and stamped a background pattern onto it in dark brown ink.  This was mounted onto an oblong of brown card then onto a buff A6 card blank.

A medium sized star was die cut, stamped with part of the background stamp in brown ink and edged with orange distress inks.  The star was attached to the card with a swirl of thin cord behind.  A computer generated sentiment strip was added under the star.

Materials used:

• papermilldirect white card super smooth 300gsm, buff smooth card 260gsm and mocha brown plain card 240gsm
• papermilldirect A6 buff card blank
• IndigoBlu background stamp Circle Dot Background
• distress inks in yellows, oranges and brown for stamping
• Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Star
• thin hemp string

Below is the same design in a blue and green colour palette with an embossed star and die cut sentiment on a navy card blank.
