Back in the craft room again

Hi folks,

long time, no crafty! My mojo seems to have gone off on summer vacation recently and is taking it's sweet time coming back from holiday.

I did FINALLY make it back into the craft room on Monday night to make four cards - two masculine, two feminine - with the Week 2 August Viva La Verve Sketch over on SCS.

Here they are:

The masculine version, using Graphic 45 "A Proper Gentleman"

The feminine version, using Graphic 45 "Domestic Goddess"

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, kraft cardstock base
• patterned papers: Graphic 45 "A Proper Gentleman" and "Domestic Goddess"
• stamps: Verve Big Wish (note that Verve has it's annual anniversary sale on right now and this set is 20% off)
• Spellbinders: Petite Ovals
• Border Punches: Martha Stewart and EK Success
• accessories: black gems for the feminine cards, black brads for the masculine cards

challenges for these cards:

• Corrosive Challenge #130: Girlie (obviously, just the feminine cards, not the masculine cards. Girlie papers, gems...girlie to me!)
• Sentimental Sundays #69: Birthday. Any of these would do since they are all birthday cards!
