Card Making Monday # 31 - Masculine Sketch

Good Morning! It is snowing outside with light and airy little snowflakes. It's so pretty. Anyhoo, it's Monday and that means another card. I made this card using sketch #3 for the Mail It Monday challenge blog.

Here's the sketch I used.

I chose to use some scraps from my stash to complete this card.

I also have been working on some faux metal projects and had a peice leftover so...I cut a circle from it and ran it through with the swiss dots embossing folder. Here's a close up.

I added some embroidery thread in brown and metalic and a demensional banner heat embossed with the sentiment. You can find the raised banner tutorial here and many more tutorials under my tutorial tab here.

I hope you enjoyed viewing my card for Cardmaking Monday and check out Mail It monday Challenge Blog too.

Take Care. Enjoy your week. Now go make something beautiful!

Hi There! Welcome bloggers and visitors for another Scrapbook Saturday post. I really liked this picture of me and my son. I wasn't sure how I was going to scrapbook this and well, it's not what I originally had in mind but here it is.
