Good Luck on your new way - a card for a new recruit

I needed a card for a young person, who is dear to me, that is a new recruit.

As it's a card for a male, I wanted it to be as simple as possible, without flowers or any embellishments.

I used nesting dies and stamped the image in black and the sentiment in blue. The sentiment says, in Hebrew: 'Good Luck on your new way'.

I adhered the stacked dies on a pp with a very gentle pattern, also in blue hues.

Challenges:

Paper Craft Crue - sketch:

The Male Room challenge - use stencils and/or dies. I used only dies:

Only solid cardstock masculine birthday card

Playing again with only solid card, I came up with this graphic masculine card.

I took inspiration from Lisa A with her beautiful cards (you can see them HERE)

I don't have the die Lisa used, so I just cut squares in multipule sized, using my trimmer. 

Lisa's card was my jump start, but I made it my own, as I added some layered squares on top of the other squares. I think the added squatres give more interest to this card, but still keep the CAS design.

I used solid cs in blue colors (though the darker one looks black on the photo, but trust me - it's dark blue).

A CAS birthday card for a teenager

 My son needed a birthday card for one of his friends. He specifically said it MUST be simple, no flowers or anything even remotly feminine!

Well, luckily there are web challenges to help a mom meet the criteria ...LOL

Since I was working on a card (HERE) for the current challenge at The Color Throwdown, I continued with the same colors, this time with more bold hues.

CAS Colours & Sketches have a very CAS sketch - it's all about the sentiment:

The Male Room's challenge is 'for a teenager':

I die cut the 'Happy' from yellow and grey cardstocks, and adhered them with a slight shaddow. I then die cut the birthday, actually two dies - background in blueish pp, and the word in green cs.

No embellishments, right?! I punched small stars from the paper I used before, and my card is done.

And my son? He said: "It's okay"...., and off he went to the birthday party...
