The Project:
I created two cards using the following stamps from the Moulin Rouge stamp set from Rubbernecker Stamp Company:

I used the 'splatter' stamp to create a gradient-style background for each card panel, then stamped a single focal image on each panel in black.

Each card is accented with twine from The Twinery (Cantaloupe and Honeydew).

In order to help the second card keep a more masculine feel, I decided to just add a few knots in the twine in lieu of a bow. I love how twine can easily be incorporated into any style of project - feminine or masculine.

Thanks for stopping by today!
