Artistically Inked Bundle - Masculine Card

 Hello and welcome,

I really like to create masculine cards and sometimes I just don't seem to make enough of them. It was my hubby's birthday yesterday and I always love to create him a special card. I just received my Stampin' Up! order from the new Annual Catalogue for 2021 - 2022 and of course I ordered the Artistically Inked Bundle. Everything in this suite is so beautiful!  




Over on Stampin' Fancy Friday Facebook page and Instagram Page it's Manly May - masculine card challenge for the month of May. I'm loving their ideas and especially Martin's Mayham Stitched Stars card the combination of blues, yellow, grey and white is a great colour combo. 

The colours I've used are Night of Navy for the card base and tone on tone panel. I've stamped the watercolour stamp images in Night of Navy Ink onto the panel randomly. This gives a nice background for my card.



To create the detailed leaves dies I've used the Blending Brushes with Basic White Cardstock, I applied lightly using Night of Navy Ink to the cardstock and splattered Night of Navy Ink using the light Stampin' Blend. I did the same for the yellow leaves this time using Bumblebee Ink and Daffodil Delight dark Stampin' Blend. I really like the tones of Bumblebee against Night of Navy.




The stitched circle swirl is from the Painted Labels Dies, I've added Night of Navy Ink with the Blending Brush to Basic White Cardstock and stamped the watercolour image in Misty Moonlight Ink onto the die cut piece.




The sentiment is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set, I've stamped Bumblebee Ink onto a strip of Basic White Cardstock and then a strip of Night of Navy Cardstock, heat embossed using Versamark Ink, White Stampin' Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.

To finish off the card I've added Daffodil Delight Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles. Here's to making more of masculine cards! That's my challenge.
