It was officially a Monday yesterday! I have given up all hope of catching up at work and I am just going to go with it. They can add much faster than I can subtract! LOL! The weather here yesterday was a little sunny in the morning and then it got gradually gloomier until it started raining around 5:00. I guess that’s the end of our glorious weather, and I was enjoying it so much! All good things must come to an end as they say. Did you have a good Monday? I hope so!
For today’s post I have my card for the SUO Challenges. This time around we are asked to make a masculine project. I know most people think dark browns or dark blues but I’m a guy and I like all sorts of colors! I went with the metal look and some bright blues.
The base of the card is Pacific Point Card Stock with a layer of Tempting Turquoise. I used a piece of the Silver Foil Sheets with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the top of the background. All of the stamped images and greeting are from the Rev Up the Fun! Stamp Set and are stamped in Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise except for the tire tracks, they are stamped in Basic Gray. Some chevrons punched out with the Chevron Border Punch, again in Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise, give the card a little motion in front of and behind the race cars. I’m really glad that I got the Rev Up the Fun! set, I have used it a lot more than I thought I would! I’m also loving the bright blues with the SIlver Foil Sheets and they emboss really nicely. Thanks so much for taking some time to stop by and see my card for the SUO Challenges Design Team. I hope you’ll head on over to the blog to see the other designers cards and enter yours in the gallery. Have a great Tuesday everyone! 🙂
