Male card- resist embossing.



Here is a card that we made in a workshop today.  Stamp sets: French script, Lots of Thoughts, Artifacts. Card stock: Chocolate chip, Ruby red,  Natural ivory.  The french script was stamped in versamark and clear embossed.  We then sponged with creamy caramel, close to cocoa, and chocolate chip ink.  Ruby red ink was also used on the card.Accessories: chocolate grosgrain ribbon,  Earth elements brads. One person in the group adapted the card to be a Valentines card by using the Notes of love stamp from Lots of thoughts and the By definition background stamp instead of french script.  One of the great things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that sometimes you get to see card making through some one else's perspective.  A male birthday card can easily be made into a card for the man close to your heart.    With this inspiration my husband my not be neglected on the 14th of Febuary.

Absolutely love this card, especially the ability to adapt it to different situations with the "Lots of thoughts" stamp set, keep up the great work Julie.
The PC cards are also fantastic, love the choc chip and sage colours together, they definitely need to reveal their identity and recieve credit for their great cards.
