Happy Hump Day!I'm so excited to host the challenge this week as it's one I'm always struggling with. In a home where the males outweigh the females, you wouldn't think it would take much to create a masculine card, but it's something I have had a hard time doing every time I sit down to make one.I challenge you to show me your best masculine cards this week---are they ones that come naturally to you or do you draw a blank when you need to create one as well?Cant wait to see all the possibilities you come up with this week!
Like Kim, creating masculine cards is difficult for me. And, if that isn't a big enough challenge, two of the men in my life are under the age of 14! That can be a double challenge! But, for today, I created a birthday card for my adult son Bryan. Sometimes, I think he looks forward to receiving my handmade cards as much as his two sons!
I drew my inspiration for this card from Pinterest, and made only minor adjustments, one being adding a bit of bling! All papers, including the cards base, were made from scraps.
I hope you will take time this week to create a masculine card for Kim's challenge. At the end of this month, two names will be drawn at random from all the submissions to receive a $30 gift certificate for anything in the Stampotique website. Rules for submission can be found here.
Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate both your visits and your comments. Be sure to check out my second post today (below) for a chance to win this Stampotique stamp from me!
Cheers!
