November 4, 2010 Challenge 3

And one more challenge response card for the day. This is the Sketch Challenge from Just Add Ink this week. I will be making another with this sketch, but I'm pretty happy with this one. I make so few masculine cards that I get pretty excited when I turn out a good one! :) In fact, I like it so much that I made two, although they differ slightly. Oh, and the Navy looks better in real life than it does on screen/in picture!


Supplies:
Stamp Set: Afterthoughts [except without the afterthought LOL! I admit I only chose that set because I can ink only the phrase I want with markers and leave off the "afterthoughts" that give the set it's name!! :)]
Ink: Not Quite Navy
Paper: Crumb Cake, Elegant Soiree DSP, Not Quite Navy textured, Bashful Blue
Tools: my hands for wrinkling up the Bashful Blue!, Sticky Strip - under the strips of hemp twine
Embellishments: hemp twine, Antique Brad (my last one!! must get more)/Pewter Brads

Thanks, again, for clicking over to my blog!
