I know a lot of people struggle with masculine cards, but I really like making them. Probably because I really like grunge... and a break from my usual embellishments. This card started by building the man from Brotherly Love, then masking him off and overstamping with the Psalm 23 Background on designer paper. I then colored the image with Copics and cut with a circle die.
The sentiment is created with the Messy Stamped Alpha and stamped directly on a piece of the same designer paper. I then chose another piece of designer paper for the background and grunged it up with stamps from the Texture Tiles 1 set. I added a bit of sponging to all my panels, then finished off with dark brown mats and adhered to an A2 card base.
Next up, I stepped out of my grunge comfort zone and went for a more clean and simple look. I built the image, this time adding in glasses, a nose, and a mouth, then colored with Copic markers. I die cut this panel in a square and sponged tumbled glass distress oxide around the edges. The thinking of you sentiment is from the Sentimental Mash-up set. I then stamped a few sentiments from Sentimental Wordfetti, and embossed them in white on black cardstock to add my "thoughts" to the thinking of you card.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this gave you a little inspiration for creating masculine cards.
