CAS153, TLC360 DH Birthday

Photo Details

Poster: nancy littrell

My CAS153 2nd card for this weeks wonderful Sketch challenge and color blocking by Loll Thompson and combined with this weeks TLC360 "Twine it Up" by Joan.

I flipped the layout and made a more masculine card using some of my DH's favorite colors. I used my SU spritzer with markers on each masked with post-it-note color block to give the blocks more texture. I really like the results.

I was pleased to see my twine bow worked for the TLC challenge too :-) Enjoy and thanks Jen and Joan for awesome challenges.

Awesome card, silly question did you use blocks or did you create the spots with post it notes?

Great card, Nancy! I love the blocked colors and font combination for the sentiment! The twine bow is a neat idea! Denny will love his card!
