Masculine??


Howdy, peeps!

Wow...this was a tough one.  Are you ready for it?  The colors Megan picked over at Picture Perfect Creations were challenging enough:


And then I decided to combine them with Totally Stampalicious's challenge to make a masculine card...  with Cameo Coral??  I don't think so!  But, not one to give up a good challenge, I set to work.  First I had to decide which one of my TS sets was "masculine" enough - I realized most of my stamps DEFINITELY lean more towards the "feminine" side.  I decided that Bugaboo Sean was the best I was going to do (and he's pretty cute) so off I went in search of a sketch and the one at Crazy 4 Challenges struck me as the simple, masculine kind of sketch:

 I still wasn't sure what to do about the Cameo Coral but eventually managed to fit it in there...barely!


Recipe - Stamps: Sean Bugaboo (Totally Stampalicious), Vintage Labels (sentiment, SU!)  Paper: Whisper White, Handsome Hunter, Cameo Coral, Ballet Blue  Ink: Handsome Hunter, Memento Tuxedo Black  Accessories: Copics, paper piercer, hodgepodge hardware (pewter), Argyle & Tiger embossing folders, hemp twine

Make sure to stop and see what the rest of the PPC Creators did with these colors:
