Today I am sharing a masculine card made using some unusual colours. These colours were suggested by a friend as a bit of a challenge.
To recreate the handsomely suited card, you will need:
Pear Pizzazz card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Gray card – 4¾” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 4½” by 3”
Basic White card 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Strip of Basic White ⅜”
Scrap Basic White card
I stamped three ties onto a scrap piece of Basic White card using Basic Gray ink.

Using a Blending Brush, I added Pear Pizzazz ink to one of the and to the lower half of the second tie. I brushed Pumpkin Pie ink to the top half of the second tie and to the whole of the third tie.

Using my sharp scissors, I fussy cut around all of the ties and added them to the smaller panel of Basic White card. This panel was then glued to the Basic Gray layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then added on Dimensionals to the Pear Pizzazz card base.

The sentiment, from the Blossom in Bloom stamp set was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the strip of Basic White card. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front with liquid glue.

To finish the card, I added a trio of Elegant Faceted Gems.

I have to say these colours are not my favourite combo. What do you think?
