Card Inspiration- Man Card

I created this card based on the THIS Pin.  However, I changed it to fit the color challenge on Colour Throwdown.  Their color challenge is to use Basic Gray, Certainly Celery, and Tangerine Tango.

I am working to create so many man cards because I want to put together a man card class.  This will definitely be showcased in the class.

I do like the three colors of the strips of the original, but I was limited in my color choice.

Here's the original....

Card Inspiration- Hardwood

Here's another card that I made today based on the Pin I saw HERE.

I changed up the colors somewhat.  My base is Not Quite Navy.  Then I have a layer of Crumb Cake stamped in Chocolate Chip Ink.  Next I punched a circle of newsprint and sponged the edges in chocolate.  I have a navy circle cut and embossed, and I used my petite pennant punch for the first time and cut out the little pennant using DSP.  I popped that and the birthday sentiment up.  The sentiment is stamped in navy ink on Very Vanilla.  The layer under that is also chocolate.  There is baker's twine wrapped three times around the hardwood layer.

I love this sketch!  I'm going to try to see what other colors I can use to create this card again!

Here's the original...

Card Inspiration- Sail Away

 This card was inspired by THIS pin.  I don't have that cool truck, but I do have this sail boat, and I think it does the trick quite nicely!

I used Pacific Point as a base.   On top of that I added a layer of Chocolate Chip.  Next I added a layer of newsprint.

I sponged the edges of the newsprint and the edges of the sentiment banner.  I decided to use the late birthday wishes (because the irony is that I am almost always late with my cards).

Along the bottom, I added a thin strip of chocolate with a small knot of twine.

I made two of these and put a sympathy sentiment on the second card.

I did make quite a few changes from the original by adding in extra layers and, of course, changing from a truck to a boat, and adding the twine.

Thanks for the inspiration, Pinterest!
