THE MALE ROOM - FUN FOLDS

This month we want to see your fun folds for your male cards at the Male Room.  I decided as a male card I wanted to do quite a simple fun fold and found this great simple idea from Gina K Designs. 

I used an old stencil from Visible Image and added three different colours of blue Distress Oxide Inks for the image -  Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans and Broken China.  I added the steam punk heart in the middle.  I cut out the sentiment with a die cut and kept it simple.

You can see the inside of the card which I think is a great design and one I think I will be trying many times. 

INSPIRATION STATION - MOODBOARD

How cosy does this image look from Inspiration Station this month? We are also joining Double Trouble so pop over there to see their brief.

I turned to my trusty stamp set from Sunny Studio called Mug Hugz to create the mugs in my card.  I first used the gel press to create my background and added some leaves from a stencil by Visible Image. The burlap behind the mugs is a new find and I love it as it's adhesive and makes adding texture with material so easy.  I used some die cuts leaves to add further interest.

I'm adding this into the following challenges:
