Welcome to Week 3 of the new Colour Creations Blog Hop for 2022-2023. This week we are featuring another of the new In Colours and this time it is Starry Sky which is a vibrant royal blue colour.
For this week's blog hop I was determined to create a male card as I have a distinct lack of male cards in my stash and there are a couple of male birthday's coming up. I have chosen to pair Starry Sky with Sahara Sand and Cajun Craze.
To start with I embossed a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock using the Gingham embossing folder.Below is a close up to see the effect.
I then die cut some hexagons using the Beautiful Shapes dies in each of the 3 coloured cardstocks and a couple of pieces of the He's the Man DSP. I have also die cut some more of the Starry Sky cardstock using one of the All That Dies. The stars are actually cut outs from one of the He's the Man Specialty Papers. They come in Cajun Craze but they are also white on the reverse so I coloured the back of one of them using a Starry Sky Stampin' Blend. The sentiment is from the Framed Occasions stamp set and has been stamped in Starry Sky. Finally a bow using the Denim ribbon from the Current Mini catalogue which retires at the end of next month. Finally I've added a couple of the In Colour Matte Decorative Dots.
Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Kate Morgan. I am sure as always she will create a beautiful card.

What a fabulous masculine card Theresa! I love the hack you created using the cut outs from one of the He's the Man Specialty Papers - super clever.
ReplyDeleteA great masculine card Theresa. I love the way you have used the different shapes. Those argyles are fabulous and really work well to balance your card.
ReplyDeleteGreat masculine card Theresa, I love the combination of checks/geometrics in the die cut and the background embossing
ReplyDeleteHexagons and stars are perfect for a male card, and the colour combo you've used is fabulous, my friend! I love all the details on your card; lots of interesting "bits" to look at.
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought to use the gingham folder on a male card, but it works so well, especially with the diamond/plaid die cuts. Fab card!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great male card. Love the colour combo and the embossing coordinates with the dies really well!
ReplyDeleteI like how you embossed the background of your card. You have picked a a great male colour combination.
