I wasn't too productive in the studio this week. I worked on this particular card on and off one day while doing other chores. I'd get stuck, go do something else, come back to make some headway, and then repeat the whole process. Just one of those days!
I used a color combo from the ColourQ #133 challenge this week. (picture linked) I thought the colors would make a great masculine card. Drawing inspiration from the geometric diamond shapes, I used my markers to stamp a More Mustard and Basic Gray background on the white panel, and then my Basic Gray inkpad to stamp a smaller diamond pattern on the Dusty Durango panel. It looks simple, but it took all day playing around with layers before I finally settled on this design. I'd change a few small things if I were to do it again, but it's still a fun masculine birthday card!
