Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #89


This is a birthday card that I made last week for my husband and also attempted for challenge #88.  However, when completed I wasn't sure it fit the interpretation of that challenge so I submitted a different one.  In looking at the new challenge this week I felt I could submit my card from last week because my interpretation of this card fit the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #89 and I was proud of my card.   In creating this card, my original thought was to use my hexagon stamps for the windows (but they were too floral for a man) so I decided to put the Snow Haven papers behind them.  I didn't really have much thought on how I was going to finish off the card, but just kept adding to it.  I thought it was a little bit bold at first but that's what a masculine card is all about and I was happy with the final result.

Wow, this is super awesome. I was going to say pretty but it is for your husband so did not seem appropriate, but I do love it! Thanks for playing along with AHSC!
