Krafty Chicks Challenge #752: MASCULINE

  Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

 

Welcome to another great challenge week from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. MASCULINE is the theme this week and good luck to you. I struggle with cards for men. I love flowers and frills so I tend to buy more feminine stamp sets and play with those. I'll have to dig deep for masculine stamp sets and dust them off before playing.

 #752 MASCULINE

For this card, I'm also playing along with Layout #19 from page 22 of Stampin' Up!'s Annual Catalogue. Only a couple left and my Template Collection for this catalogue is complete. 

I went searching through my unfinished Paper Pumpkin kits. I figured there had to be a masculine theme in a kit or two for inspiration. And when I opened the February 2023 box, I saw all the bits and pieces left over were perfect for Layout #19 that I wanted to use. Look closely at what I did:

Twelve circle on the template, twelve element on my card...plus an umbrella. Who said they needed to be identical shapes on the template?? And except for the flowers (part of the landscape), this card screams BOYS!!!

Products used:

• Stamp Set: Sunshine And Smiles (Paper Pumpkin February 2023)
  
• Card Stock: Soft Sea Foam (146988), Balmy Blue (146982)
  
• Ink Pads: Memento (132708)
• Stampin' Blends: Afternoon Azure (161672), Granny Apple Green (154885)
  
• Accessories:Paper Pumpkin die cuts, Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)
   

I finished off the inside of the card and the envelope clean and simple by just adding some DSP and the last of the die cuts from the kit.
