Masculine Card

Hi Lovelies..

Well we've been without internet for a few days due to an area outage, so I've been a little quiet!  I'm glad to be back now though...  it really shows how much we rely on it when we don't have it...  and ours is TV too!

Anyways.. I've been busy in my craft room.. and today I'm sharing the first of some male cards I've made.  

I was inspired by Natalie's video (NB Cards) showing several different styles for men - using lots of scraps!  Well, I have endless scraps and 6 x 6 pads... so out they came.

I diecut several stitched strips in various patterns and colours to start with.  Then I cut some white cardstock, covering with double sided adhesive paper.  I laid the strips on diagonally, with some gold strips interspersed... then adhered that panel to a diecut stitched rectangle.  Lastly, I added a tiny sentiment in the same diagonal angle.

I can't really give many details of what I used - the paper pads are probably 10+ years old, and the strip die is a cheapie one.  The sentiment is from MFT.

I sent this card to my son-in-law and it was well received, so I've made more - always handy to have a male type card in stock!

Happy crafting...
