I'm standing in on
Less is More this week, sending best wishes and hugs to Jen who has a few things going on in her life just now. This week's challenge is to make masculine cards, C&S of course. I tend to prefer masculine cards to be clean and simple and enjoyed making a few for the stash. Can't wait to visit all your blogs and see what you come up with :).
My first card uses Stampin' Up Wetlands stamp and some Distress Inks. Cardstock is textured and I've added some string. Looove this stamp, made this card at Chrissie's a few weeks ago on my birthday, think I may have to get this set sometime!
Second card is bright and bold, it uses a cut file from Silhouette called Quaking Aspens. The "Dad" is part of a lovely Woodware stamp with surrounding words which I covered up when I inked it. It's coloured with Copic and the red buttons added for interest.
Final card uses Acid Drops and What-nots image, swirls and sentiment stamps from various sets and has been coloured with Copics. I can't think what you call this shape of card, if indeed it has a name, anyhow the fold is off-centre!
Thanks for looking, hope you play along too.
