' ' ' 'Crafty Endeavours: Masculine cards

Sunday 11 June 2017

Masculine cards

In the middle of other projects I realised I need another Father's day card... I thought a CAS card would be quickest.
Wrong!

3 attempts at placing the stamps I had chosen, 3 attempts trying out colours, and finally working out the best cut to get a better proportion took ages!


Stamps:
Grungy Circles from  Uniko's Round in Circles Background builder set
Dog from Flonzcraft's True Gentleman set
Sentiment from Hobby Art's The Old Crock stamp set

Inks:
Kaleidacolor in Vineyard
Memento Black
Distress Walnut

For my base I used a silk card which takes dyes beautifully, and, since I am yet to lay my hands on one of those stamping tools (I'm thinking of getting Tim Holtz/Tonic one but it is on wait list everywhere) it's just as well.

Quite pleased I managed it in the end and that I am able to show something this week, as my posts have been rather unpredictable of late...

Thank you for your continued support,
I am entering the SSS Monday Challenge, SSS Wednesday Challenge, That's Crafty, Unikostudio, Stamplorations CAS challenges.

  2. Brilliant! love the design. I bought the misty. I think I may have over paid so worth shopping around. I had to pre-order it as well. I don't use it all of the time but worth having to hand especially for repeat stamping on heavy card.
    Have a great week.

  11. Elle est rigolote et mignonne comme tout... Mais tu m'as fait rire, avec tes tentatives de C&S qui finalement prennent plus de temps ! :D
    tout compte fait, je crois que c'est pour ça que cette année, j'ai décidé que je n'avais vraiment pas le temps d'en faire une pour mon homme... Lol. Bises
