We're home, and we brought the freezing temperatures with us. The city schools closed for today, and several school districts have now closed for after-school and evening activities. The wind chill is -14°; not as cold as Chicago or Racine, but pretty bitter. Makes for a good day for crafting.
I have four cards to share today; no stamping in sight. While we were away, PinkFresh Studios had a wonderful release. One of the dies I ordered was the Gatsby. As soon as I saw it, I knew it had great potential for masculine cards. There are two dies, meant to be layered one on the other, although the top layer is lovely on its own. I die cut them from a variety of shimmer and metallic cardstock and came up with four variations.
The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's "Good Times" set. The stamp set came in an odd size, and so it's stored at the back of my box for birthday stamps, and I often forget it. Over the weekend I organized dies, and started to inventory them, and rediscovered it.
I think this is my favorite. I found this card in a box; I'd already trimmed the front and added a black border to the inside of the card.
Gray, silver and black
White, bronze and black; I die cut the sentiment twice and layered them for a subtle shadow.
Black and silver; only the top layer die cut. This card proved to be very difficult to photograph!
This week's challenge at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is "Anything Goes." Perfect!
