Happy Sunday, everybody! I hope your day is as beautiful as you are! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve been having some fun in my studio and have popped in this morning to share a clean and simple masculine card that I created on Thursday to enter into The Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge! Our sponsor this month is Sherry West Art and the challenge is to use black and white plus one color from the inspiration photo, with an optional twist of adding a circle. In addition to black and white, I used tan, and I’m playing the twist with the travel globe as my circle.

This is the photo inspiration we were given. I saw neutral tan, and rather than use kraft cardstock, I colored the tan elements on my card with a Nuvo alcohol marker.

I cut a top folding A2 size card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut a piece of black cardstock at an angle and adhered it to the bottom of the card base. I cut a narrow strip of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock at a very slight angle, colored it with the tan alcohol marker and adhered it across the top of the black cardstock. I die cut the travel globe pieces from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored them with tan and black alcohol markers, and assembled it. I applied a STAMPlorations Shine Bright Clear Stickers sentiment to a scrap of white cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it to the bottom left. I adhered the travel globe on foam dimensionals and added several different sizes of black gemstones to complete the front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a wide strip of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock that I colored with the tan alcohol marker along with a narrow strip of black cardstock. I applied another STAMPlorations Shine Bright Clear Stickers sentiment and layered the panel on black cardstock.

And one more peek… totally loving the masculine feel of this!
