I have another set of incredible swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our theme in July was masculine cards and the cards are out of this world creative! I'm sharing a bunch each day this week.
First up is a card made by Candace. She really went outside the box with her background strip idea. The various widths & lengths of strips are a clever & unique way to set up her aquatic scene.
She used the 'Whale Done' stamp set and the coordinating Whale punch. That neat 'seaweed' is from the Delicate Edges dies seen here.
Her colors are unique but sure work well together! They are Soft Sea Foam, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent & Orchid Oasis. Great job!!
Next is Becky's fun 'sailboat' card. She used the Let's Set Sail Bundle seen here.
Her colors are Night of Navy, Parakeet Party & Sahara Sand. The DSP is from the Sun Prints. It's a fancy fold too!
Notice her clouds on the background? She used the Friends are Like Seashells stamps for those! So clever!
Measurements:
- The card base is 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2".
- The long strip is 1 1/2" X 11" scored at 2 3/4", 5 1/2" & 8 1/4" and is adhered only at the two end pieces.
- The squares are 1 3/4" & 2" in size.
Next is a wonderful card made by Monica. She used the Dragonfly Garden stamp set & coordinating Dragonflies punch.
Details:
- Her colors include Soft Suede, Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen. She textured the various strips using the new Painted Posies 3D embossing folder.
- The strips are all 4 3/4" long but vary in width from 5/8" – 1 1/4" all adhered to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of White CS. Again, strips to the rescue for a unique background idea; perfect for men.
- The greeting die-cuts are from the Stitched Rectangle dies.
- The dragonfly is stamped on Vellum and punched out. But she stamped it again on a piece of the Texture Chic specialty DSP for the center. So it has gold details on it!
Stay tuned for more masculine card ideas tomorrow and all this week!
