Welcome back to another challenge at The Spot, your place for inspiration and weekly card making challenges. This week we have a theme challenge for you, create a Masculine card! Challenges are a great way to jump-start your creative process and let's face it with everything going on right now, card making is a fantastic way to relax and enjoy some creative time. I hope you can find the time to join us, we love seeing your wonderful creations.
I am not sure about you but I sometimes find it hard to create masculine cards. As many of you know I am all about florals, mixing colours and patterns, adding some bling and layers. Normally these are not what comes to mind when you think of a "Masculine Project". Luckily, Stampin' Up! has so many options to create the perfect male themed designs. For my card, I decided to focus on the awesome Come Sail Away Suite of products. Several of these items will be retiring after today so be sure to order now if you would like them.
I started with a Night of Navy Cardstock base, then took a Whisper White Craft Ink Pad and dragged it across the base several times. I love the effect this creates. Next I layered on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and woodgrain DSP from the In Good Taste Pack (this is a sneak peek and will be release with the new catalogue on June 3rd). I distressed the edges of the DSP and also added some Whisper White Craft Ink. As a scrapbooker I love the Stampin' Up! Memories and More Packs, but what is really great about them is that they are perfect for putting together quick cards as well! Here I used 2 of the 3x4 cards from the Come Sail Away Pack. The laser-cut sailboat and sunburst layered perfectly over the striped card.
Would you believe I created this card with almost no stamping?! The little trio of birds from the Sailing Home Stamp Set was stamped in Night of Navy Classic Ink. I doubled up the Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Bakers Twine and attached an adorable little anchor from the Sail Away Trinkets. The sentiment also comes from the Memories and More Kit.
Now be sure to check out The Spot for some fabulous inspiration, and we would love to see you join in on the challenge! Below you will find all the items I used for today's project and as always feel free to contact me with any questions!
This card is GORGEOUS!! I LOVE all the little details. Those die cuts are so cool!
