AAA Cards CAS Game 117 - Geometrics

I have three young adult nephews celebrating birthdays this summer, so I made a masculine birthday card for the current AAA Cards challenge - Geometrics.  Masculine cards are definitely challenging!

I used the Altenew Weave Builder stencil and sponged on Catherine Pooler inks.  I wanted some contrast between the black and brown sides of the cubes, so I found that I needed to use a light touch when applying the inks.  My first attempt was way too heavy handed and the two dark inks just seemed to run together with no definition between them.  A MFT sentiment and some steel gray card stock finished my card.

One card down, two to go!  Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great day.




Supplies:
Neenah Solar White card stock
Altenew Weave Builder stencil
Catherine Pooler Midnight and Icing on the Cake inks
Memento: Gray Flannel ink
MFT All About You sentiment stamps
MFT Steel Gray card stock
