Krafty Chicks Challenge #787: 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!

 #787 MASCULINE

 

As I was scrolling through TikTok, I watched an doodler, an artist really, create a beautiful background with colourful marker strokes. And I thought: I can do this too. My first attempt did NOT look anything as pretty. My strokes were uneven and wonky. Then I remembered that I might have a stencil that can do the trick. It's not quite like the original doodle but I didn't mind how it turned out.

 The stencil is a Vicki Boutin (she's Canadian, from Ontario) design. I love her style! I ran my markers into each space in rainbow colour from Stampin' UP!'s Brights family. It was a little flat when I removed the stencil so I traced each stroke. Love that I wasn't exact, it added whimsy! I also created a border to anchor it.

  I did more strokes on the inside of the card and the envelope to finish off the card set.
