Papertrey June Blog Hop Card 2 & Fusion Challenge #12

When I was thinking of ideas for PTI's June Blog Hop: A Touch of Gold, I knew I wanted to put gold glitter on Scor-tape, not only that, but I wanted 3 different widths.  I just wasn't sure if I wanted the lines horizontally or vertically.  Fast forward a day or two, and I saw the new fusion challenge.  I laughed right out loud when I saw the sketch.  That answered my question!
  
I was loving the way the card was turning out until I die cut the numbers.  It's exactly what I had planned to do, but once I did it, all I could think about was a football jersey (maybe because of the font or maybe because the school colors at the high school and the university I attended for my undergrad degree were this exact blue and gold).  Believe it or not, I had originally intended for this card to be feminine.  But once it looked like a jersey, I knew I had to change my idea, so I switched my color scheme up a bit and just embraced the masculinity.  And now I need to find a man turning 31 or a boy whose football number is 31 to give this card to.  Or maybe I'll give it to my dad this year and just add "+30" somewhere. :) The super positive about this card is that I re-discovered that Scor-tape is the way to go when you're using glitter (how did I ever forget?!). The coverage is awesome and the mess is minimal -- yay for the first and triple yay for the second. :)

    What a super card. I don't know why I did not think of scor tape and glitter. And, your photo is so professional looking--like there is that flash of winking gold.

    I love the three different widths of Scor-Tape. That was genius! Everything about this card works--the gold, the design, the colors. It looks fabulous, and you caught the glimmer of the gold perfectly in your picture. LOL about the 31--love the back story. :)

    Would you believe I originally planned to use glitter on my newly acquired Score Tape? Still need to do that & I'm so glad to see an example with this terrific card! Can't say it makes me think of a football jersey, though--LOL!

    Everything about this card is terrific. I had forgotten about using score tape, too. I even like the way the gold glitters in the photo, like it's saying "Don't you just love me?"

    So in love with this! Wouldn't have thought to pair the aqua with gold but it really looks great! Way to embrace the masculinity coming out, sometimes you just need to roll with it : )

    This is really cool, Lesley! I love that serendipity came to visit with that Fusion challenge sketch!! I think it only reminded you of a jersey b/c of your colors; it didn't make me think of a jersey, but I can see that it would work for a guy card. Too funny, tho, that now you need to find that specific guy/little guy!!
