S&S Sketch Challenge #26

I really like this week's sketch on the Stars & Stamps Blog. It's the symmetry. I like things straight.




I used Bazzil black and gray card stock and some shiny silver paper I've had for ages. I picked up the stamp this week at Stamper's Alley in Mooresville, NC. It's made by Great Impressions.

  2. Love that! That embossing folder is perfect for that image and I really like your coloring, too. Copics? Making the rest of the card gray and black just makes the image pop off the page. I like things straight, too :-)

  7. What a great manly card! That is fantastic use of that embossing template too. . . I rarely use that one. . . my FIL is a real motor head. I might have to case this card!!! Thanks for sharing!

  8. I'm with you on liking symmetry Dixie and I think it's perfect or this image. It really looks like a framed piece of art with the black mats and I just love how you've use the the embossed foil as an accent. I'm stealing that idea as soon as I can for my masculine cards!
