The Play Date Cafe #101

Hi there!  Hope you've had a great week and you are looking forward to a nice fall weekend!  I know I am!  I'm popping in with a quick post to share the card I made for The Play Date Cafe Challenge #101

Here is this week's color story:


And here is my card:


I always have trouble with masculine cards so I took advantage of the rich colors in the inspiration photo to make a much needed male birthday card.  I started with a 5 1/2 square card base of GKD Smoky Slate and layered with patterned papers from the Basic Grey Oxford and My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Sunshine 6x6 pads.  I stamped the image from an old SU set called Thinking of Father with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White and colored with Copic markers. I sponged around the image panel with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink to give an aged look.  Some Glossy Accents on the watch face and glasses and a bit of twine finished my simple card.

Thanks for stopping by!  I'll be back tomorrow with this week's Card Patterns Sketch Challenge card!  Have a great evening!
