You are my Happy


Make It Monday with Betsy Veldman and 'Using Florals on
a Masculine Project.'
Betsy's card and video can be seen on Nichole's blog,


Have to say, Betsy's card blew me away, GORGEOUS!
The wood against the florals and wreath. 
Eye poppin' drama with those striking contrasts!

My card uses some of the marbled paper, I created over a 
crafty weekend. I haven't really put a dent in the stack!
If you haven't done this in a while, check out
you tube. There are so many how to videos.
I used the shaving cream technique, but there are several,
water, oil, even cornstarch!


In The Meadow die, gave me the curve. Too feminine?
Tried to follow the swirls of the marbling.
Florals: Bloomers, Meadow Greens, Spruce & Sprigs.
Sentiment: Happiness in Bloom
Marbling created with PTI ReInkers: Saffron Spice, Terracotta Tile, Melon Berry,
Classic Kraft, Cocoa Bean.
PTI Cardstocks: Stampers Sellect White, Cocoa Bean, Terracotta Tile,
Saffron Spice, & Classic Kraft.
PTI Inks: Cocoa Bean, Dark Chocolate, Melon Berry, Classic Kraft.
A bit of copic on the berries. (Thank you Betsy for this tip!)
PTI: Twine

  4. Love this card Nancy! Looks like you really had fun with the marbling - I need to give that a try. I tried it a couple years ago during SAF and my card smelled like shaving cream for a long time - does yours?

  11. Wow Nancy, this is gorgeous! Is that okay to say for a masculine card?? I love the marbled piece and have yet to try this technique.... ever!! I think I must live under a rock. After seeing so many fabulous cards using that technique, I'm hoping to try it soon. Your card is amazing as always and makes for a stunning man card!!

  12. Nancy, this card just screams masculine and Fall to me. The marbled paper and your choice of flowers and colors all blend so well together. And what a great idea to use In The Meadow in a vertical position!

  18. Your marbled paper really sets off your card design, Nancy. Your color choices for the florals are perfect also. I've never seen that sentiment before and will have to look up that set.
