Happy Wednesday everyone!
It's time for some Heartfelt Creations inspiration! Today I have a card that could be used for a man or a woman. I think it especially makes a nice masculine card which I find hard to do!
I used one of the card fronts (the one with the balloon image) from the designer papers. These really make card making easier! I matted it with Mist card stock and popped it on a dark brown card base. I added one of the tickets form the designer paper, a balloon image I colored with pencils and mineral spirits, and a sentiment and medallion from the Celebrate the Journey Sentiments Set using tan card stock. (You can see complete instructions at the bottom of my post.)
Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week! Also, see who the blog comment winner is for the new collection!
I'm submitting this to the Word Art Wednesday Challenge #128 - Anything Goes.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous, I love how you framed the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteKathy, this is such a pretty color combination. I love the way you've combined the elements, too. It's a great masculine card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Kathy!! Hugs and blessings!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Kathy, I have such a difficult time with masculine cards. I think you are so right this card would be perfect given to a man or woman...it's so well designed!
ReplyDeleteStunning. I love the colors and your coloring.
ReplyDeleteYou always knock it outta the park! Love your color combinations and lovely layering! xx
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to see a man card because as you know we need them often enough. The layout looks like a real life scene. Thank you for joining us this week and for posting your beautiful project in our Word Art Wednesday challenge.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I find it hard to believe you have a hard time with masculine cards. This could be used for either but it is an excellent masculine card Kathy. I wouldn't know about that though. LOL. Positively GORGEOUS card.
