OWH World Card Making Day


This card was inspired by OWH sketch #188.  Of course I took a creative license on the sketch, but I was really happy with how it turned out.
The paper I used was from Basic Grey called Little Black Dress.  The ironic part is that I feel it is a very masculine card despite the paper pack's name.

Now head on back to Operation Write Home's Stars and Stripes Blog for the next blog in this hop!

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully crafty day!

    Love the banners and you can never go wrong with a little black dress or Basic Grey cardstock. ;-)

    This is one of my favorite sketches and I love the liberties you've taken with it to reorient the banners. Nice adaptation.

    Love the colors together. Masculine cards with buttons are pretty hard to pull off, and you did it beautifully!

    Great color mix on this card. Love the buttons and think that it is a very masculine card, despite the pack name.

    Creative license with sketches is always how the best cards turn out! I love your take on it and all the little details you added along with the soft vintage colors.

    I think it's masculine as well. Very nicely done, and I like the placements of the embellishments. radloffjen at cableone dot net

    What a wonderful card! I think it could work as a masculine or feminine card. I like the added details of buttons, twine and brads. Happy WCMD!

    Guess it just goes to show you what you name the papers is not how you use them! Great masculine card.
