This card is for today's Limited Supplies Challenge(LSC226)!!! Thanks so much, Wendy!!! I do not know what motivated me more....my Chinese food thoughts....love some steamed dumplings and vegetable lo mein(wish it came in multigrain), or the a la carte stamping menu!!! I loved choosing from the groups.
For this card we had to keep it masculine
Here is what I chose.
Menu #1 – Images (just pick one item from each menu!)
3. Neutral Images
Menu #2 – Color Schemes
3. Neutrals
Menu #3 – Embellishments (this is where it can get tricky!)
1. Ribbon & Brads OR Eyelets (tie masculine KNOTS instead of girly BOWS)
I am showing you another sneak peek of two more sets that will be released by ODBD on July 1st. The Amazing Grace Hymn is a single image and is fantastic because it can act as a background or focal image. I am also showcasing the Grow in Grace set.
To keep my card masculine which was part of today's LSC theme, I stamped a few of the dogwood image as part of the background and I did not color them. I also used one of the sentiments. The Grace acronym is awesome!!! It truly says it all.
I finished my card with a few altered dew drops instead of brads. I added gold metallic markers to give them an aged feel. I also used the embossing heat tool to heat my organdy ribbon to make the look alittle more manly.

Stunning, Betty, really! I've never heard/seen that acronym for 'GRACE' before - so appropriate and well-thought-out. You've definitely done the whole concept justice, and then some...
