Hi Everybody,In the last card class my ladies tried their hand at creating a more masculine card with the unusual technique shown
If this is a new idea to you then maybe you would like to watch a tutorial on Faux Leather Effect
The two different color schemes make the card look totally different and you can make it suit your recipient whether male or female
It is very easy to do and I hope you will enjoy the short video ... and I am sure that you will agree that both Mary and Brenda have made lovely cards on this their first attempt.

But remember that these dies are being newly launched at the CHA shows in California and they will be available for you to buy next spring 2015
The link is open for 48 hours and is the only way to enter. Good Luck
Thank you for all the comments on my practise run with the camera. I had some really good tips and advice from many of you and I will take each and every one on board and work with it. Many of you preferred the third photo of the cards and that was my favorite one as well.
It was only a practise run and my first attempt with my new camera and I do intend to use other staging props and not just the ones shown. So hopefully my pictures will get better
All the advice given was well received by me and in the manner it was intended
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Good Morning Christina. Mary and Brenda's cards are Very Nice and both have inspired me to try this technique. Thank you so much for sharing. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, your friends did an awesome job on their card...
ReplyDeleteWell done Christina on teaching them
Fabulous cards ladies,well done!
ReplyDeleteI think the ladies did a terrific job. I watched the video when you first posted it. My thoughts then, wow what a lot of work. I have missed some of your posts as my computer was down for a while. Hopefully I will catch up before long.
ReplyDeleteWell done girls, they look absolutely wonderful....I envy those classes with Christina....luv URsula xx
ReplyDeleteHi Christina, what wonderful cards, they are so unusual. Well done to your ladies. I tried to use the link for the new dies but it said it was closed, so it looks like I missed out even though you said it was open for 48 hours...I'm never lucky enough to win anyway :(. x
ReplyDeleteReally unusual cards Christina your talent is endless love all your work.
ReplyDeleteKind regards

When I first looked at the two cards, I liked Brenda's card the best because I think of the colours. Once I read the information that it was faux leather and intended for a man, Mary's card would be my first pick for a man card. Beautiful work ladies may have to give this a try in the new year. Keep up the good work. Dianne
ReplyDeleteGreat cards ladies!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteLovely cards and so very different too.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to follow the link but it tells me the link is closed is there a problem?
