G45 Masculine Card with Embossing


Hi, Friends.....

I am here with another Graphic 45 card especially for a couple of challenges:


1. UnstampaBelles Challenge - Use embossing with an optional Make it Masculine Twist.
I used my Graphic 45 Cityscapes collection again for this masculine card. Emboldened by the one I made HERE, I embossed and tore the cardstock again for a peeling wallpaper effect. At least, that what it reminds me of! :)

2. Winnie & Walter August Color Combo Challenge - Any Palette Goes. Here's the color combo I chose for this card. Love the autumny hues of these berries!





Products used include:
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set 

Graphic 45 - Cityscapes collection
Sizzix - TH Texture Fades - Notebook embossing folder
Core'dinations Cardstock - Neutrals
Distress Ink - Black Soot

Scraps of black cardstock
Ribbon from my stash
Unrelated to cardmaking.....I have good news to report. We have had cool temperatures and rain with no thunderstorms for the last couple of days!! We are so thankful for this gentle change of weather that helps reduce our immediate fire danger. Our nights have been in the low 50s and high 40s, so autumn is certainly on its way. Whew!!! That's always a relief.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you are all well and safe from all the fire and weather-related problems so many areas are experiencing.

  5. Good news about the weather. Hope that continues for you. Love your cartoon!!! My little boy is obsessed with birds at the moment and the little finches torment him. Your torn wall paper effect looks amazing. Strong colours and great images. Thanks for sharing it with us at Unstampabelles for our August challenge!
