I'm going out on a limb with my card design this time and trying to see if I can create a masculine card with flowers on it. Is it possible??:
What do you think?? Is it too girly? Too flowery?? I'm not sure but love how it turned out and being a huge fan of the colour blue, I love it anyway!!
This was super simple to put together. I started off by stamping and heat embossing the 'love' image from the 'Flower Power' stamp set in white on a piece of watercolour CS. Using Distress Inks 'Peacock Feathers', 'Mermaid Lagoon' and 'Salty Ocean' I created an ombre effect over the embossing, using a mini-blending tool. I then stamped the 'you' from 'Rad 2' in black ink.
To make the colours pop, I cut a panel of black CS slightly larger than the embossed panel and adhered it behind. I then popped both panels up on foam tape on the card front. I decided that since this was for a man, it was tricky enough having flowers on it, let alone adding some sequins, so I left it as is.

ReplyDeleteHow pretty is that love stamp and it looks fabulous against the blue wash. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards.
ReplyDeleteHi Shona! Long time no post from me. I've been looking at your cards & absolutely love them, as always. I just had to tell you this card works as a masculine card. Most men like blue, and your sponging looks great. I don't think the flowers are too feminine, they're so small. I think it would look good with beige & light brown, too. That would also work for a man. Love the stamps you used here. GREAT job!
