Good morning! I needed a birthday card for my nephew that is turning 14 (YIKES - where did the time go?!?!?) - so I thought I would take the opportunity to play along with the Unity {be inspired} Challenge as well. Here is my card:
Here are the colors - I only used the top 4, and then threw in a bit of black:
I used the June 2013 SMAK kit for the ink splats - aren't they fabulous? So perfect for a guy card! I stamped them in 3 colors of Memento Luxe pigment ink.
Over the top, I stamped my sentiment from the January 2014 KOTM, as well as those little star clusters.
Finished off by trimming and matting that panel in black, with a couple of rounded corners, then mounted it flat on a card base of Avery Elle Silver Fox cardstock - a really pretty soft gray that added the perfect touch of contrast. Then couldn't resist adding just a few sequins!
My husband approved it as a good guy card - and since those are usually some of the most difficult, I'm happy! Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!!
Love all that splatter and the rounded corners too. Great idea for a guy card. I'll have to keep this in mind to try sometime. Great job!
