This week for our challenge group we had to post a card that is manly.
I have one for you that actually could serve that and another purpose. It could be used as an Anniversary Card - of course a different sentiment would be needed then.
My card is one of the larger ones, where you use a whole sheet of Cardstock and fold it in half...
Here is my card (click on photo to enlarge and see the shimmer of the main image):

The large Image was stamped in VersaMark onto Shimmery White CS and embossed with clear EP. Once cool, Night of Navy ink was brayered over it (= Shimmery Emboss Resist Technique)... It's really pretty and elegant looking in real life!
Enjoy your Friday!
This is great Claudia! Love how you combined the different stamp sets for a very unique card. Great layout and color combo...
ReplyDeleteI love this technique Claudia. I'll be trying that one very soon. Your card is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA truly elegant card without being feminine. Great blue color too! Fabulous job with the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThe paper piercing on the bottom ties in great with your stamped BG image.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Claudia! It's manly, but elegant.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love the navy and celery together! One of my most favorite combos! Great job... your card is perfectly manly!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Would be great for anyone.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of colors for this card. (I've never made that large of a card) but it works. Very versatile for many occasions.
ReplyDeleteThis card is stunning. I really like the Night of Navy and Certainly Celery together.
ReplyDeleteI love this card Claudia! That main image pops on that shimmery CS...perfect elegance with a masculine look! {SMILES}
ReplyDeleteThis is beautifully done Claudia! Very elegant! That main image looks just wonderful with this technique! :D
ReplyDeleteManly but elegant! I sure hope that the Lots of Dots wheel makes the new catty and then it will be on my first order!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I would have ever thought to use that set for a masculine card....but, in this case it works! This is really a wonderful card.
ReplyDeleteGreat card as usual Claudia! Hey, are we gonna go on stage together this year?
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the shimmery emboss resist technique--I'll have to give that a try soon!
ReplyDeleteClaudia, I love the crisp feel of this card. You picked the perfect colors for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteWow, pretty yet manly at the same time. Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Claudia. Love the colors. I have never made a card that big either - I will have to give it a try! Great job on the challenge! (I am behind on checking out everyone's blogs for the past 2 weeks) TFS!
