Hi all! And a Very Happy Sunday to you! Sure hope you've all been enjoying your weekend! 8-)  Well today I'm back with a quick post for Week 2 of the CR84FN Color Challenge! So you guys still have one more week to play along with our Pretty Color Combo! Yay! 8-)
I made a Birthday card for my Darling Hubby, so I kept my card pretty CAS with a more masculine feel to it. 8-) My Mats,BG and Die cut Layers were created using a combination of grey CS from my stash, MME's Lost And Found Sunshine collection and MME's Stella and Rose Gertie set too. I added a little inking on the edges of my main BG panel with a touch Pumice Stone Distress ink for a touch of masculine grunge. ;-)  My computer generated sentiment was printed out and cut out with the help of my Classic Ovals Nesties set, shaded up with more Pumice Stone Distress ink while my die was still in place and popped up with foam tape onto a layered SB Labels 2 die cut. And to finish it all up, I added two big buttons threaded up with some hemp twine.8-)

Here are the Wonderful CR84FN colors ( Lovely photos's courtesy of Leslie at Creative Mint ):
