I am delighted to be part of the Design Team at The Male Room Challenge. It will be a challenge for me too to think of 'male' cards - I wonder why we find them so difficult.
Our theme this month is Tag. I added my tag to my card. I started off by creating my background with my brayer and a gel press. I used blues and purples for my card and used Arteza acrylic paints. I used a Shawn Petite stencil of the feathers for the background and added some washi tape to the sides.
For the tag I used a Tim Holtz die cut to create the tag. I used similar paints for the background. The feathers are from an old set by Stampin Up called Feather Together. I added some background stamps from one of Tracy Evans sets and added a real feather in the middle. I added a brad to the top and some more of the washi tape. The Happy Birthday was white embossed.
I'm adding this into the following challenges:
Crafty Friends - For a Man
Paperbabe Stamps - AG
Creative Inspirations - Masculine
Paper Funday - Masculine
Stamping Sensations - Masculine
Make The Card Challenge - Masculine
This is really effective - so much depth.

ReplyDeleteMasculine cards are hard for me to create as well, you've done a great job on your card. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Funday Challenge and we look forward to seeing more of your lovely designs.
