wow!! these challenges really do get your brain going!
I have a new flatmate (FM from now on - I think she might be getting addicted!) and she was fascinated that people spend MONEY on this stuff.. and then I was sitting playing around with some new rubber, and she sat down to watch, and all of a sudden, you could see the lightbulb go off!! "ooh" she says. "this is quite cool eh??" "Yes" says I, with a knowing gleam in my eye! "Wanna play?" and the rest is history!
ANYWAY..... one of my blogging sisterhood set a challenge for a masculine valentine's card, and I mentioned it to FM, and about 10 minutes later she came up to me with a little sketch she had jotted down. (aww, bless her!! - see I told you - addicted!) Here is the sketch.
Unfortunately I had kind of already sorted myself out on that challenge so I used the sketch for Kristina's colour challenge. Weird colours again - well one weird one thrown in! That green is LOUD!!
But here is my card (actually, I am not taking total credit - FM told me what colours to put where, and which order and everything - she just wouldn't ACTUALLY do it!!)
this uses two of the new saleabration stamp sets - polka dot punches, and yummy. cardstock is basic black, whisper white so saffron and green galore. Ink is real red.
I have other ideas though so I might be back with another one!

Isn't it just fabulous when you see the light bulb go on in someone's eyes when you're showing them cardmaking.
Ohhh Jenny you two are going to have a lot of fun together!!! I wish the bulb would go off in my husbands eyes, by the way of a nice comment instaed of the grunts i normally get !!!( LOL) nice card by the way :)
Nice card, Jenny. I hope FM realises that when the 'light bulb' comes on, there's no turning back! Every space in the house will start to look like a nice 'storage' corner LOL :)
Love It!! Very simple, very effective! Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog too. I'll be coming back to see what you've been up too!
