Some trendy males!


Sorry if you are dissappointed and from the title expected to see hunky men!!........."Trendy Trees" male CARDS that is!!
The first one was meant to be for a colour challenge on Mel's blog....... (http:/melhanlon.blogspot.com) She was inspired by the beautiful autumn colours of the trees in Canberra and chose the colours of Garden Green/Ruby Red/ Choc Chip / +Neutral. But oops!!-when I went to link it I discovered that there was meant to be More Mustard in there as well! Oh well !! I enjoyed making it anyway and like how it turned out! The textured background for this card is the spiral from trendy trees and the texture strip from the "So Lovely" hostess set from the last catty. (Versamarked in both directions)
The second layout is for a sketch challenge on Split coast ( SC228 )It uses the texture stamp again for the background but this time in Always Artichoke ink on Always artichoke cardstock. For the right side panel Bravo Burgundy cardstock and ink and a scrap from the (retired) Wintergreen DSP pack . You cannot see it very clearly but the tree panel has been sponged around the edges with the bravo burgundy ink (next time I would change this to always artichoke but hubby says it looks ok for a man as it is) A sentiment from Fun and Fast notes,brads and hemp twine finish off both cards.

Great male cards - but make sure you add a pic of a trendy male too if you're going to tease us that way - LOL

Lovely cards Robyn! Ideal for a male and that little set is really great - so glad that was one of our free ones at convention.
