Krafty Chicks Challenge #783: 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 set and dust them off before playing. Here we go!

 #783 MASCULINE

So I was thinking about how I don't have much manly Designer Series Paper when I happen to look on my right and see the craft bins rack full of old (I mean really OLD) dsp. I soon found a suitable pack to play with. It's dated Fall 2008 and there's not much left of it but that's ok, it's meant to be used up and not forgotten. I found an old stamp set as well, dated back to 2011 at least (not sure if it's older, didn't want to get lost down the Google rabbit hole).

 

Products used:

• Stamp Set: Countryside (retired)
• Card Stock: Soft Sky (retired), Basic White (166780)
• DSP: Muirfield (retired Fall 2028) 
• Ink Pads: Memento (132708), Balmy Blue (147105), Old Olive (147090)
• Stampin' Blends: Old Olive (154892), Crumb Cake (154882), Afternoon Azure (161672), Balmy Blue (154830), Smoky Slate (154904), Lost Lagoon (161680)
• Accessories: Saying Something Mix & Match Ephemera pack (163761), Tinsel Gems (retired), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430) 
   

 I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope clean and simple by just adding some DSP.
