Hey Everyone
I go through phases of making masculine cards. I’m having one of those phases now. When I saw the challenge at Stampin’ Through The Catalogue was to use the Sailing Home Stamp Set, I chose to play along. I think I need the inspiration of a challenge to spur me on. If I sit down and try and design a man card without a challenge involved, I can stare at blank Whisper White Cardstock for an hour.
The Sailing Home Stamp Set would be my favourite set for making masculine cards from the current catalogue. I love all the images in this set, but the lighthouse would be my favourite image as it’s the perfect size as a focal point for my card and it’s a great image to colour.
I also like a lot of detail on my cards, so this set has a fabulous anchor image that is perfect for layering and is really easy to colour. By layering images, cardstock and embellishments I get the fullness I like on my finished cards.
Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers
Narelle
I love how you’ve used this set Narelle – I too like the layered look, and I think the guys like to see the connections you’ve made to them. A lighthouse image always says ‘safety’ to me – so great for the men in our lives!
I have always loved your style, Narelle. I love the layered look. This is a wonderful masculine card and a great inspiration! Thank you so much and stay well.
