Masculine Moments

I'm big-time into square cards lately. I had forgotten how much I enjoy finishing the card off completely by making my own envelopes. I have a template for square cards that fits on a piece of A4 cardstock - making envies out of card is a great way to ensure your wonderful creation arrives safely!
This was yesterday afternoon's project. I really like how it came out - especially because I never have enough masculine cards in my stash, and I think this one is ok for a guy, even with the flowers! I used the Card Patterns sketch for this week, and the Color Throwdown colours.

I inked the birdcage with a Basic Gray marker, then went over the bird with Not Quite Navy. I really love this Happy Moments set (free for Sale-A-Bration this month only).
I inked the sentiment with markers too and I've repeated the stamped elements on the envelope to tie it all together.

  1. Sarah, this is wonderful! Your card is very creative and innovative--I especially love the envelope and how you used two colors for the sentiment. So glad you were able to play with us this week....I don't think I have ever visited your blog, and it's just wonderful too!

  5. Wonderful bold colours, Sarah! Yummy design! Sarah ... do you have a template for a square envelope??? I avoid making square cards because I don't have a template for the envie! Have a great weekend! xxx
