I usually send out a couple of Christmas cards to just males. I found this sketch over at Taylored Expressions Sketch #131 and thought Dasher (SU) would, well...just look "dashing" on it! I used some more manly looking colors I think - like the Always Artichoke and Real Red. The patterned paper is from Paper Pizazz. I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE plaid - so really like using this. Kind of gives it a "manly feel". I embossed Dasher with some of the Egyptian Gold embossing powder. Again, I used the Square Lattice embossing folder and also used a SU punch. The snowflakes were made using a MS punch and then I added gold brads in the center.
This is for the challege at Taylored Expressions.
Thanks for stopping by...............

Beautiful and it so works as a "guy" card, love the plaid! You did such a great job on this, will have to remember when I have to make a card, I really struggle with making it "guy" like.
ReplyDeleteLove Dasher and never ever thought of using him for a guy card! Awesome!

This is just beautiful, Lynn! The plaid DSP makes the card so masculine but so classic at the same time. I just love that Dasher stamp! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the texture of the embossing on your main image. The color combo, textures and plad do have a masculine feel but I think it would be appropriate for anyone.
