Masculine Striped card for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

May be an image of text that says "COASTAL CABANA REAL RED COLOUR COMBO Blog Hop BASIC .ASICGRAY GRAY"

Today, I am sharing a striking masculine striped card made using the Art in Bloom stamp set for the Colour Combo Blog Hop where the colours we have been given are:

 

To recreate the masculine striped card, you will need:

Basic Gray card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Real Red card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Coastal Cabana card – 5” by 3¼ “- rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4⅞” by 3⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic Gray and Basic White

I stamped the stripes in Real Red ink at the top of the smaller Basic White panel, the row of spots was added next in Basic Gray ink. The stripes were then stamped again in Coastal Cabana ink. This sequence of Real Red, Basic Gray and Coastal Cabana ink was continued down the length of the card panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set in Basic Gray ink on scrap Basic White card and punched it out using the Tailored Tag Punch. I punched the same shape from scrap Basic Gray card. This was cut from side to sided and glued to the top and bottom of the punched sentiment and added to the card front with liquid glue.
