Here's a design for the guys - Dad, Grad or birthday boy - in Memory Box shades of Kraft, Copper, Lagoon, Slate and Licorice. Copper, Lagoon and Slate are from the Soiree Collection of rich, shimmery cardstock colors, perfect for a celebration. The Licorice Distressed Dots and Moroccan papers are from a collection of 8.5x11" prints in 14 great colors.
I've manipulated some of the products a bit here - hope that's OK with Dave. Vintage Record Sheet (G1712) is turned on its side for a horizontal background. The rosette, cut and scored with the Blooming Rosette Die (98121) is created with the plain edge on the outside instead of the decorative edge - more like a wheel than a flower, for a guy-card. See the entire collection of Memory Box Dies here. Butterfly Orchard (more great dies!) was just released last week - just in time for summer cards and projects.
Here's how the Rosette should look, with its beautiful decorative edges, on a card from the Sun-Splashed Cards class at the University Village (Sunday June 12) and Tukwila (Sunday June 19) Impress stores. The Memory Box Dies are great for cutting silkscreened Washi paper, as shown on the peach and yellow card...
