Masculine & Feminine

It's not often that I need to make a masculine card more feminine, but yesterday I did just that. I wanted to use this layout for a friend, but it needed a little something girly. The first card is the Father's Day card I made for my husband, and the second is one of a set I made for my friend.
I added a little glitter via a clear Stardust pen on a few leaves, swapped the twill for a scalloped polka dot, and shifted the focal image just a bit. Voila!

Card #1:
Paper: PTI White, Dark Chocolate, SU Certainly Celery
Ink: SU Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Versamark
Stamps: PTI Father Knows Best, Pond Life, Out On a Limb
Other: PTI Dark Chocolate twill ribbon

Card #2:
Paper: PTI white, Dark Chocolate, Bitty Dot pattern, SU Certainly Celery
Ink: SU Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Versamark
Stamps: PTI Father Knows Best, Everyday Classics, Out On a Limb
Other: SU Scallop punch, Sakura clear Stardust pen

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the Erin Lee Creative January release .  When I received these products I sat down immediately and started to play.  There are such fun new stamps, dies and stencils.  I'm sure you'll find something you like. We are hopping today (see list below) to show off these great new products.  If you've come from Lindsay Dickason's blog , you're in the right place! There will be two (2) $25 gift certificate winners chosen from the comments on our blogs, so comment away!  Winners will be posted on the Erin Lee Creative Blog on Saturday, February 1.

Next up we have two products: L...

Let's get to the projects! First up are two cards made with the same products...the  Stripe Background Stamp  and the  Stripe Sentiments Stamp Set .  There are so many possibilities with just these two products!  I started with an autumn rainbow of distress oxide inks: I really love how these sentiments fit perfectly in the stripes, and they look like the labels we used to make with those vintage label makers (remember turning the wheel and pulling the trigger for the right letters?).  They look especially good when heat embossed. (Sorry for getting that song...
