I thought this week's Off The Wall Crafting colors were prefect for a masculine card.
I decided to combine it with this weeks Just Us Girls Challenge to do stamp Kissing with a Twist (tutorial here). I inked the Hero Arts Basic Grey Life of the Party Dots with Capri Blue ink and then twisted the Hero Arts Magical Background that was inked with Basil ink … I love how the two colors combined.
I finished with a sentiment from Hero Arts Friends are Treasures, coordinating cardstock, a few wraps of twine, and a little party hat. Here's a close-up of the kiss-with-a-twist background.
I love how those background dots turned out. The colors meshed so nicely. Very cute card.
