Green and black ...

... no, I'm not talking about the chocolate, but the colour combo, which is apparent on the 'ad inspired' challenge on 365 today (day 94):

I based my card on the sketch for Inspirational Sketches 19:

I've used a photo mounted on to layers of BG Scarlet's letter papers (still one of my all-time favourites).

With the addition of the buttons, this qualifies for challenge 19 on Paperplay: 'buttons galore' (my first challenge entry there). Also the card is for challenge 17 on The Pink Elephant, which is calling for a recipe: '3 buttons, 2 layers, 1 sentiment'. I know I have more than 3 buttons, but I do have 3, so I hope this will count!

I've had one of those evenings when nothing seems to have gone right, so I just felt that need to make one card.

    I love your manly card. The colors and papers are so nice and calming. It reminds me of my dad wearing his suit to church. I am sorry you had 'one of those evenings' I hope it got better. Glad you got to make a card and escape.
    Thanks for playing this week at ICS.
