Stampin' Up! Australia - The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #21

Hi

Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop!

I seriously lost my creative mojo this weekend (I blame the low pressure system/Cyclone Marcia), so the best I could come up with was this card:


It's actually not as bad as I thought it would be....on reflection, it has a modern, masculine feel to it. I absolutely LOVE the Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack - such great patterns for bold cards for men. I also broke out the Bow Builder Punch which has been woefully neglected on my table for a few weeks. You can create a cute bow like this in about 5 seconds. All you need are some Glue Dots, a piece of patterned paper and the Bow Builder Punch. #adorable 

Here were our colours:



Here was my sketch (Freshly Made Sketches):


Here was my theme (Seize the Birthday):

  7. Oh this is just fabulous Alison! You've nailed both challenges and combined them perfectly. The plaid patterned DSP is one I haven't seen yet - maybe I need to read my catalogue more closely! Thanks for joining us at FMS this week!
