Now for Today’s Post:
Today is the sketch challenge at Try Stampin’ On Tuesday.
Here is the sketch for this week:
Here is my take on the sketch:
I really like how this card turned out. The Natural Composition Specialty paper #126917 $12.95 is so pretty when you sponge or brayer over it. This paper has an embossed image in it so it will resist the ink when you apply it to the embossed image. I masked a strip of the musical notes with post it notes and then sponged it with Early Espresso ink. I did this to create the little swirl border down the side like on the sketch. I know it doesn’t swirl but I think it gives the same effect.
I kept my colors neutral which gives it a masculine feel. The Natural Trim #129287 $6.95 went perfect with the sketch and the feel of the card. The Natural Designer Buttons #127554 $4.95 fit perfectly with the trim.
The New Timeless Talk stamp set #126605 $22.95 or 126607 $16.95 gave the vintage masculine feel to the card that I was going for.
I think a very nice masculine card.

I almost commented on the next previous post on accident. I couldn’t find where to comment then I had the wrong one–geez–I need a nap. Anyway, great card! I love your idea to add the ink to the side to represent the swirls. This card would be great for anyone, male or female. Awesome job.
Love how you used the ink to create the element for the side – great card.
