Golden Goddess Designs: Masculine and Feminine Two-fer with Quick Quotes Savannah collection

Hello, Alicia with you today. I created a couple of cards with the new Savannah papers and Savannah Quotes and Phrases sheet. I love the checkboard pattern of Savannah 100 paper and thought it lent itself toward a masculine card. For the second card I found the feminine patterned on the opposing side and made the Life is Beautiful card.

Both cards start with an A2 (4.25" x5.5") card base of white card stock. I also used an ATC gun for adhesive except where otherwise noted.
