I needed a thank you card for my son' s football coach and coincidentally enough, his team colors were blue and white! Additionally, you do get black and blue while playing football, so it was all meant to be!
I wanted to keep it simple. I needed a card I could get done quickly and it was for a guy who I am sure does not appreciate the texture of ribbon or other fancy embellishments! I did emboss the helmet to give it some dimension. I used a really old sketch from SCS, SC12 for my layout.
Stamps: Sporting Goods
Ink: Versamark, Versafine Black
Paper: Basic Black, Bashful Blue, Bordering Blue, Whisper White
Embellishments: SU Eyelets, Black Embossing Powder

Great card. I'm going to work on the challenge tonight. Have an awesome weekend!
Your black and blue card is perfect for a guy. I haven't done my card yet but you nailed it!
Great job on the card and on the challenge!
Great job with the challenge. I love that card! Perfect for a boy (or man. lol)
Love the card - what a great idea! We are always struggling to find a card at the store that works for all the sports coaches we have.
Great card! I really need to get back to the computer/blogging world to see what is up! I feel so out of touch---especially when I am part of this group and had no idea there was a challenge!
Love the sense of humor, too:)
I love the helmet! Great card!
I really like the layout of this card... great colour combo!
Great card! I love the layout you used. It is a great "manly" card and great for the challenge also.
