Cards for the cave man in your life!

Okay, I admit it - I am well and truly addicted to Eye-catching Ikat now! As well as all those subtle backgrounds and stylised florals, I'm finding it perfect for man cards too - and today you get two of them! Come and see:

My ikat design was stamped in gorgeous, earthy colours that a cave man might have daubed with - and it's definitely got a primal cave art feel, don't you agree?  I mounted it with dimensionals on a piece of Soft Suede card stock and placed a panel over the top with an aperture cut into it using one of my square framelit dies. Cutting the aperture slightly larger than the ikat design creates a 'reveal' (ie it allows you to see a border of the Soft suede mount.) I'll be linking this card up with Less is More where the theme this week is Die Cuts.

When making the first card I had cut a piece off my stamped ikat panel, so I thriftily made a second card with the off cut. This time I mounted the ikat on top of a piece of core'dinations card stock.

What do you think of this cute little embellishment? I used my Essentials piercing template to make four holes and threaded linen twine through it in a kiss :) Since this card was made with bits and bobs, I shall link up with Pixie's Snippets Playground.
