As Cajun Craze is such a strong colour I struggled what other colours to coordinate it with, so I ended up going with good old Basic White and Black.
The DSP I have used in the background is from the In The Wild pack and it is hard to see but I have actually embossed it using the Painted Texture embossing folder. The sentiment is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set but I have masked the stamp so as to remove the words in the middle (a little bit late). The banner at the top and bottom as well flags in the left top corner are all from the Stitched Triangle dies. The flags in the top corner have been die cut from the "returning favourite"Black Glimmer paper which will be available to purchase next month. The stars have been die cut using another new specialty paper, Silver foil Specialty paper and I have used the Brushed Finish one. This will also be available in the upcoming mini.
I have also made another card featuring Cajun Craze but I will share that with you later in the week.

Theresa I love how you have used a combination of glitter and brushed foil specialty papers against the Cajun Craze background. A good masculine card if need one.
ReplyDeleteThis DSP combined with the specialty foils and glimmer paper makes such a strong masculine card for all ages - what a great colour combination and use of different textures, Theresa.
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome masculine card, T! I, too, love the mix of glitter and brushed foil. Super-impressed with how you created that sentiment ... you had me guessing where it was from, for a minute. Nice choice of colour combo, my friend. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Masculine card. Love the use of the foil and glitter with this DSP. I am loving that brushed foil. Great Birthday Card
ReplyDeleteThis card is perfect for a masculine birthday card Theresa. Cajun Craze is a hard colour to choose other colours with, but you have created a great card with black and white.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, clever masking of your sentiment, I was wondering where that one came from! Yes, a great masculine card and wonderful use of textural products, fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of DSP and colour combination for your card Theresa. Cajun Craze is just one of “those colours”, but you’ve done a great job here.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Theresa, I thank we all struggled with Cajun Craze.
