Masculine and Feminine...

 Good morning, Blogger buddies! I'm back to share a couple of makes using one of my latest and fast becoming favourite die sets - Sizzix Tea Cups by Jennifer Ogborn...


 I started with a 5x7 inch card base and randomly stamped some script text in Tuxedo Black Memento. I then added a book page fishtail flag, mat onto a pale blue paper and a couple of strips of coordinating patterned paper from my scrap stash. I cut out the book template and embossed the top layer with Cuttlebug Script embossing folder and inking the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink, before assembling using glue along the centre spine and foam pads behind the pages. I used one of the cup dies and the little tea bag tag, creating a collage group including a glasses die, backed with vellum, small tag die as a bookmark and flower and foliage dies.

I found the sentiment in a set from a magazine which I thought was just perfect for the theme and then added my Yana Smakula Script sentiment die and a stamped 'Happy'...


 I then decided to have a go at making the same card but with a masculine theme...


 ...I don't know if it's just me, but I felt this card turned out a little Harry Potter-esque?! I mean, the pastel one is still my favourite because it's...well, pastel!?! 

And there we have it, two cards, same design, different colour schemes...

I hope I've inspired you to have a go at changing up your colour schemes to completely change the look of your creation...

Crafty hugs,
