Time for another colourQ challenge. As usual Arielle has selected a beautiful palette of green, blue and gray for all of us to play with. Isn't that bedspead gorgeous? My daughter informed me that it would be perfect in her newly painted, more grown up, bedroom. Along with a queen sized bed.
I have a need for a couple of masculine birthday cards in September so I went with a birthday theme. You CAN use ribbon on a card for a guy, it's all how you present it.
I translated this weeks colours into Papertrey Hawaiian Shores, New Leaf, Smoky Shadow and Kraft.
Be sure to visit the colourQ and see what the rest of the Design Team has come up with to inspire you. We hope you come and play with us this week!

ReplyDeletelove, love, love this clean, crisp design, tracey!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic use of these colors and I love the ribbon treatment!
ReplyDeleteSuper masculine birthday. I didn't know I had all those stars, but I must. Love how you used the colors, and all the energy that those stars give to your background.
ReplyDeleteYes, Tracey, you can use ribbon! You did a fantastic job! Love your card!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteWorks perfect for a "guy" card (don't you think those are the HARDEST to make?)!
And they little a ribbon in their lives...
so of course it works! :)
Hmmm. Never thought to use ribbon quite that way on a masculine card. And a guy probably wouldn't even notice it that it was "ribbon!" Such a great card. I love the Linen and Canvas impression plate. Yet another thing to add to my wish list!
ReplyDeleteThe perfect card for a guy birthday, Tracey, love how you featured the tag! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteSO fabulous, Tracey! I love the stars, just too cute! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great guy card. You have so many lovely details, this is amazing with six layers, and it still has such a clean look!
ReplyDeleteWow, love it! The colours and texture make this card really special :) I only got around to reading my comments now, so thank you for your kind words, too! Best wishes from sunny Heidelberg - Nina
