A Sketch by Cindy - Freshly Made Sketches

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and this week the talented Cindy Hall is our hostess.

My card this week, was a long time in the making ... I was trying to fit it around a busy schedule and it wasn't quite happening - I did finally get it done at the eleventh hour ... gosh, talk about cutting it fine ... "thanks for waiting Jen!"


I made a man card and kept it fairly simple with a few splashes of red - for a bit of colour and fun!  The little packages are a die from PTI and the ribbon ties have been cut with felt which gives such a nice texture/feel.  Also the added red rhinestones don't show very well here but they add a pretty sparkle  without being over the top and girly!
Head on over to check out all the inspiration from our DT here .... you'll love what they've come up with!

Have a great week .... and can't wait to see what you create!

Hi Tui! Great man card! I love argyle and it's been too long since I've used it. And a great idea to use felt for the ribbons!

Great card Tui! Love the black and red together - very striking and masculine! I really like those little presents!

Even under pressure you produce Tui. Love the pop of colour. The wee pressies are so cute. ooxx

Nothing over the top and girly about this perfect man card! I love these colors and the bit of felt on the packages.

What a great card, Tui. The "argyll" is fantastic - the red rhinestones add an extra pop.

I love how you did this, Tui. You can see the red rhinestones when you click the pic. I think these patterns are fantastic together and that felt is such a great idea!!
