This is my card for this weekÂ’s CC482. I am the challenge hostess and I chose a kaleidoscope of colors with basic black, white, crushed curry, strawberry slush and bermuda bay. The dessert option this week is a fatherÂ’s day or masculine card.
My card layout is the June Viva la Verve week 1 sketch. The bg paper is from the SU dsp “kaleidoscope collection”. It’s so perfect for a masculine card.
The larger sentiment is from the Waltzingmouse set “man of the hour”. To make the “hero” word stand out, I colored with a bermuda bay marker. The Father’s day wishes sentiment is from the Verve set “strong anchor”.
The pierced middle panel of crushed curry is die cut from the MFT blueprints 3 die. My stars are what completed my card and the die is from the Verve ‘starry die”.
Hope you can play along with us this week. You may be our next fave of the week and have your card featured on our SCS color challenge Pinterest board. See the board here.

What a terrific masculin card, Mary. The colors are so bold and strong...definitly how most men want to be thought of. The sentiment is so nice. It would make any dad feel like a million bucks.

Wow this is a fabulous fathers day card! I really liked the colors you chose. I did have to google the kaleidoscope dsp to see what it looked like! I love the graphic patterns.

Love how you used those bright somewhat girly colours and yet made a perfect masculine card! The geometrics helped I'm sure! :-) That is a great sentiment and the stars compliment it perfectly. Super great card Mary!
