A Masculine Expression....

Here is a masculine card I made for this week's Clean and Simple Challenge to use the Sponging Technique. I really like the way this card turned out!


My card base is Kraft cardstock scored at the top. I first sponged my Whisper White cardstock with Old Olive cardstock, then Shimmer White. I allowed this to dry and then stamped my image from Herb Expression in Jet Black Stazon overtop. This was matted on Chocolate Chip and adhered to the card. A Garden Green Grosgrain Ribbon adds a simple accent along the bottom (I skipped a bow or knot for a more masculine look.)

I hope you enjoy today's card and are having a great weekend! Don't forget to check out Stampin' Up's awesome Online Extravaganza with savings of 30-50% and scroll down to Tuesday's post to enter to win my Blog Candy!
