Another month gone by already? Yup…and that means time for the monthly Blast from the Past Blog Hop from Taylored Expressions! The theme this month was to use an older TE stamp set and make a project that was masculine. That is HARD for me! All my stuff is so girly and fru fru! I decided to make a birthday card for a guy using the “Make a Wish” stamp set!
I used a ‘masculine’ color scheme of gold, teal blue and black as my foundation. Found my Copic markers to match my paper and started coloring!
Here is the awesome stamp set. You can see I combined two sentiment stamps to make my focal image and then added a bunch of extra stars to it. I stamped extra stars to color and put on the card later.
I consulted with the DH to make sure it was okay to add some glitter to the stars! My resident male opinion said it would be fine. Not too much though…
I used this sketch for my layout. I was having a block on how to do my card design. Did you know that on Taylor’s Blog she has a link to all of her sketches? I use them all the time. If you click on her blog and look on the right side bar you’ll see the links. I thought this one below was great!
This Blog Hop is a customer Blog Hop and I hope you will join in one of these times if you haven’t already! So much fun to see what everyone comes up with. See below for the list of projects this time around. Have a fab day!
