Colorthrowdown #259 and Make it Monday #131





Hi there.  I am popping in really quickly with two cards I made last night.  I really like this first card that I made using the colors of this week's Color Throwdown 259.  I used the Argyle stamp from Autumn Pattern Pieces and a sentiment from WMS Man of the Hour to make a birthday card for my dad.







In all honesty, I have to say that I don't much like this next card.  I used the striped embossing technique from this week's Make it Monday 131.  I almost didn't post it, but my daughter thought it looked cool, and I got to thinking that this could be the card that randomly wins, so.....here it is.  I used stripes of Zing embossing powder on the balloons from Balloon Bash.  I am also entering this card in this week's Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Emboss it.




Well, no time to chat today.  I've got to run.



Thanks for Visiting

  8. Love the argyle! I struggle with masculine cards and refer to them as DMC - Dreaded man card! Ha! Your card is amazing and the second is so fun!
