A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Ellie has chosen the theme 'I Spy B'. As always there is always the option of Anything Goes. I've made a masculine card for my brother with B for Balloon and Blue.
For the background I used a new die from the Craft Addiction 'Slatted Square Collection' set. I die cut it using a navy blue and backed with square of pale blue. The balloon is a Memory Box 'Beautiful Balloon' die I won a little while ago in the Snippets Playground and it had it's first outing for this card. I attached the balloon with foam pads. The clouds are Memory Box 'Puffy Clouds' die cuts and I attached two with foam pads. The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year' set, stamped with SU 'Night of Navy'.
There are prizes of coordinating stamps and dies for the two lucky winners.
I am joining in the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteThe white silhouette die cuts look fabulous against the slatted background square Liz, I love this clean, crisp, masculine card. xx
ReplyDeleteThe layered blues and crisp white accents create such a striking, serene vibe—perfect for a masculine card. That slatted square die adds wonderful texture and depth, and I love how the balloon and clouds seem to float right off the page. The clean design lets each element shine, and the sentiment placement ties it all together beautifully. What a thoughtful and uplifting way to celebrate your brother!
