This card is all about texture and pattern, inspired by The Friday Mashup this week. The challenge was to use three or more colors from the inspiration picture and also use different patterns. I chose Island Indigo, Early Espresso and Sahara Sand. I also used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #92.
I felt like these were masculine colors and patterns, so I made a male birthday card. The chevron and stripes embossing folders, plus the ribbon, thread and brads bring in the texture. I mixed patterned papers from the Mocha Morning and Festival of prints paper packs.
Here's a list of supplies....
Stamps: On Your Birthday
Paper: Vanilla, Early Espresso Core'dinations, Island Indigo, Festival of Prints DP, Mocha Morning DP
Ink: Early Espresso
Accessories: Build a Brad, Linen Thread, Early Espresso ribbon, Stripe and Chevron EF

ReplyDeleteEmbossing the patterned paper adds such a lot of visual interest! I love your pattern-coordinated brads, too--they remind me of the studs on a western shirt.
