Today is the first of June
and the first day of the month always brings us to a new challenge at
The theme is 'MASCULINE'....
perfect for this time of year.
I just had created 57 'masculine' cards for a DT commitment
so wanted something rather simple and easy.
I chose to use my TH Distress inks on glossy card stock.
The inks used were spun sugar, broken china, orange marmalade, shabby shutters.
I used an older SU stamp (2007) 'Happy Harmony' for the sentiment.
The dies I used are all Impression Obsession:
Very simple, very cool dies for a 'masculine' card!
I have owned these fun dies for quite some time
and love how they make a simple but perfect card
pretty much on their own!
