Repeat Impressions DCC - For the Boys

It's a DCC challenge Wednesday at Repeat Impressions.  This weeks challenge was chosen by Karen - For the Boys.  

For my card, I used RI image 9118-K Chevy.    Guys cards can be difficult to create but with an awesome image like this, it can be very easy.  The printed paper has that little bit of a swirl to give it some accent and the center panel is matted on black and popped to give it plenty of dimension. 

 



The best part about a challenge is that you get to play along.   Create your on masculine card, link that card to the RI blog and you will be entered into a random drawing for an unmounted sheet of RI images.  Wendy has quite an amazing selection to choose from.  Go here to see the complete rules. 

 

I hope you get a chance to play along.

What If? Wednesay - Sketch A0214

It's What If? Wednesday at Repeat Impressions and Wendy has an amazing sketch for us. 

 

For my card, I used several Repeat Impressions images.  All 3 are from the Pairings series; the focal point is 9301-P, Happy Bees (I didn't use the full image this time),  the small bees are 9308-C, Bee, and the sentiment is 9317-E, Buzzillion.  This is a long card - would fit in a business sized envelope - and I couldn't get a clear shot but the yellow strip around the small bees is popped for lots of dimension. 

 

 



So now it is your turn.  Create your card inspired by this weeks sketch, link your card to the RI blog and you will be entered into a random drawing for an awesome prize - a $25 gift certificate to the Repeat Impressions store.  You can see the complete rules here - at the Repeat Impressions blog.
