Texture

Good morning.  My card today is my DT card for IAAS where the remit is to use texture on your project.

Please scroll down to previous post if you are looking for my CCC card.

My Card


Recipe
5 x 7" Kraft base card - Papermania
kraft card - Papermania
Argyle embossing folder  - Die'sire Crafters Companion
bronze corrugated card - stash
wide jute ribbon - Hobbycraft
bakers twine
button from stash
computer generated sentiment

I think I have achieved the texture with the additions to my card so this is another male card for my box.  I never have enough cards for men readily available so this year I decided I would remedy this and whenever possible make a male card.

Please pop over to the blog and see what my teamies have made.

Thankfully yesterday's snow only lasted until about lunch time and didn't settle. I'm keeping fingers crossed because February can be quite a bad month for snow around here.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Saw this beauty as I was looking for the CCC. Definitely has loads of texture, in addition to a very stylish design. Love the impression you've got on the background kraft. Glad I got to enjoy this pretty card! TFS

Such an awesome male card Christine and yep, you totally cracked the texture challenge. I think the whole DT have had fun with this one :). Love the monochromatic theme going on here with all the emphasis placed on the texture :) :) Snow - yuk, yesterday was just a grey damp day up here but today the sun shone. Fingers crossed you get lots of sunshine soon :) xxxxx

Hi Christine
You have certainly got texture on this super card.
brilliant, as you say, for a male card. I'm not normally a kraft card fan but I like it here.
Best wishes.
