Pale Blue & Silver Brocade

This is the last card I finished today, it uses the Gina K Holiday Tapestry stamp set. I love the brocade look of this band included with the set. I chose a lightish blue for my primary color. 

I stamped the band 3 times using Versamark ink and embossed in silver. I then trimmed around the edges. The label is from the Stampin’ Up Painted Labels die set. I cut it twice, once from plain blue cardstock and once from blue mirror cardstock so I could get the shiny frame around it. The mat and sentiment were both cut from the mirrored blue cardstock (Sizzix Tim Holtz Celebration Words die set). I put it all together and was done. 

This card, I mean, wow, right? I’m very happy with how it turned out. I don’t want all my masculine cards to be nautical or mechanical. I think this works just fine for a man. 

I’ll be entering this card in the Simon Says: Stamp It challenge, The House That Stamps Built - Theme Challenge S821 ~ Let’s See Your Sparkle and Shine, and the Simon Says: Sparkle & Shine challenge.

I’m working on phase I of converting our spare bedroom to my office/craft room, so I won’t be making any cards for a few weeks. I’m hoping to have everything setup and done by mid winter (phases 2 & 3). Over the next few weeks I’ll be adding shelving, peg boards, and setting up a desk. I’ll snap some pics to share when I can.

Enjoy this great fall weather & thanks for stopping by!
