This is so beautiful, Kelly. I love the muted tones and the embellies. The sequins are the perfect touch. Thanks for doing my challenge.

I combined this with the Grab 5 Challenge.

Nice mix of embellies here, Ginni. Love how you used stripes and polka dots, too. Thanks for participating.

Birthday card for DH

Your card made me smile, Susan. That cat is purrfect sitting on the tag. Great job incorporating the stripes and sequins. Although this is definitely a masculine card, the bows give it a delicate look. Is the background patterned paper or did you create the design yourself? Thanks for participating in my challenge. 
 

masculine card using clear sequins (4 - one on each star and two on small cirlcles) stripes and stars.

Great muted colors and inked edges. I love the striping on the stars and tags. Stars, stripes, circles, tags, sequins, what more could you want on a masculine card? Love it, Sherri! Thanks for participating in my challenge.

What a unique card this is. Great job with the shaker. The embossed paper and sentiment are great additions. Wonderful color combo. All the sequins look like they are floating up from what looks like a porthole to me. Thanks for participating in my challenge.

The background paper came that way - Altenew's alcohol ink backgrounds 6x6 

Here is what I created.

Wow, this card is so masculine. It reminds me of a man's tailored shirt. The sequins look like the buttons on the shirt.  I love the paper, the pocket and the foldover. Perfect colors. Thanks for participating in my challenge.

Thanks for the challenge! Here’s mine using striped patterned paper and sequins. Mailing a caramel apple care package to my son . Last year I sent him a hot cocoa care package, this year it’s caramel apples

Sunday was the last home game for the Mets so I made this card for my boss, in Mets colors
