Hello friends!! Today it's time for another great challenge at Shopping Our Stash. This week we have a fairly easy challenge and one we always need to visit! We want to see a masculine card this time. I know I don't usually make them but I do need them at times so this is a great challenge!
I used some paper from MME called Lost and Found. I used a die to make a scalloped frame behind the bird image. That image was fussy cut from the DP. I inked and sewed the edges of my layers. I also used some postal stamps on the edges. I added 2 brads and cheesecloth from my stash.
Inside I used more paper from the same collection to carry the theme. The writing panel easily came about with the Post Card image.
I love this part of the paper too. I used TH Vintage Photo to stamp my custom stamp and added another postal stamp to the edge.
So there you have it. A simple card that I think would be OK for a man. Now it's your turn. Dig into your stash and join us for our Masculine challenge this week!
I think that's about it. Thanks for taking a peek!
Blessings & Hugs,
Michelle

ReplyDeleteI'm generally not excited about the "Dreaded Man Card" either, but it's good to practice now & then :) Love yours - those papers are perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi, Michelle! Thanks for the kind comment you left on my blog! I absolutely adore this card! It is a well thought out, cohesive design with great continuity and fabulous color integration. You are a talented and creative designer and I am so happy to be working on a DT with you. I know I will pick up some new ideas.
