Over on Rainbow Lady's this week the theme Cynthia has chosen is cards for men, well we all know that men can be tricky but recently I have been buying some stamps that fit the bill perfectly.
This card is made with a fairly new set of stamps from Chocolate Baroque, I found the check background on the net and used Distress Inks to colour it, I liked the fack that it was already looking a bit grungy. The main image was stamped in black and embossed with clear then the bits of colour were done with more distress ink, I like the bigger chess pieces so wanted to use them so decided to ue them as focal points on the card.
When I was putting the card together I noticed I had cut the background a tad too short so used a punch to do a border and hope it looks like it was designed that way.
Wow Jenny, this is amazing. A perfect man card, I love it

great card, Jenny...I like the monchrome with a tint of colour
ReplyDeleteJust a perfect card Jen... love the stamps and yes it looks like the border was meant to be there. Great colour scheme too. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a very attractive card and I think that the border draws your eye into the lovely image. Might have to get this set myself!

Jenny, the card is beautiful. I love the border at the bottom and think it probably is one of those happy accidents.
ReplyDeleteA smashing mans card for this challenge :D
