Good Thoughts Coming Up!

Photo Details

Poster: TexasGrammy

CCREW0214HF = No Brainer Day! We're challenged to create something simple, easy, obvious or totally logical.

My approach was to collect some a few stampy items that had a common theme ... directional. No brainer took some thinking for me. ;)
While playing with those elements I realized that my brother-in-law is recovering from a brand new hip replacement, so my project took on a masculine feel, suitable for picking up his spirits.

It's all blogged in this post at Texas Rubber & Ink!

I LOVE the combination of banners and DSP you used ... and the chevron punch on the side is amazing!! You definitely conveyed a masculine feel considering the soft colors you were working with. Very Nicely Done!

Great card. I think that chevron punch has such a way of conveying a message on a card. Your colors are wonderful, without being jewel-toned, which is what I usually think of when thinking "masculine."

Thank you for sharing this wonderful card. I really appreciate the modern feel.

Great masculine card. I love that you paired the chevron punch with the banners. I would not have thought to put them together but they look like they were meant to go together.

This is a great card. Love the layout, the colors and the feel. The large banner is a great way to use that DSP with the busy design - I wasn't sure what to do with it, but I love what you did.
