The ladies at Hand Stamped Sentiments have a Father's Day card challenge this week. So I pulled out my trusty Sail Away stamp and got busy. Masculine cards are not normally my thing. Especially since the females in my home outnumber the lone male! But I do have brothers, nephews, and of course my Dad to make cards for as well, so I often have to step out of the comfort zone and make 'manly' cards. Other supplies on this card are brilliant blue (ret.), real red, and very vanilla card stock, black Stazon and brilliant blue inks, pastels, linen thread, and some retired star brads. I also used my 'go to' square lattice embossing folder. Since I already had the paper cut, I went ahead with a birthday card too. I'm pretty sure none of my male family members will view this before receiving their card! :-) TFL!
Both card images were colored with chalks.
You should sign up for the June card swap! It's a Father's Day card!! I think sign up ends tonight! :)

Great "guy" card Margaret! Love your coloring behind the sailboat and the pop of the red frame is perfect! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the layout of your card! The brads add a nice element. It's always nice to have masculine cards on hand, too. :) Thank you for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, your shading on the image is gorgeous! So soft and tranquil! The texture and the star brads are great accents, too. Thanks so much for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week! :)
