Ahem....cough....I have an announcement to make...I made a card...with a male theme! I am only hoping that I can do Claire and Anne-Marie proud with this one, they seem to be the Queen's of Testosterone fuelled cards.
I proudly selected an Angel Company stamp from the new Vintage rides set for the card...thanks go to my BFF for these, she has good taste.
I stamped the image, along with matching banner and sentiment from the same set, onto coloured cardstock. I coloured only choice bits with my Sharpies in order to keep it muted.
I then mounted it directly onto a strip of ribbon that I had placed horizontally on the card. It actually looks like the plane is floating.
I drew the clouds free hand onto some blue cardstock, cut them out and then ran them through the cuttlebug in the clockworks embossing folder. Black ink finished them off nicely.
I really am a sucker for detail on a card, so I adhered two buttons in the bottom left corner, tying one off with some scrap netting thread...hoarder sickness I tell you...hoarder sickness..it pays! And has done so twice this week already :)
I must proudly say that the entire card's paper came out of my scrap stash! how do you like that? I'm quite chuffed :) I finished the card off with a bit of faux stitching off to the side and made doubly sure the edges were heavily inked.
Ok, so what's the verdict? did I pass the Masculine card test? Holding thumbs that I did! Have a great Wednesday everyone :) And don't forget about the anticipated AiFactory Blog hop on Friday! Lots of goodies to be won!

Manly indeed! Must say I love that plane and banner ;) Clouds are such a creative touch and love the look from the embossing on them. I would say you are neck and neck with the other two wizards. Job well done.
ReplyDeleteYou sure passed the test Petra. I just love that plane flying along.
ReplyDeleteI'd say you passed with flying colours there, P! Far excelled my feeble attempts - you can do all mine from now on :)
ReplyDeleteWOWSA Petra - you passed, think you just got upgraded :o)
ReplyDeleteWhen did you change the photo?
ReplyDeleteKeep going like this and you will give the other two a run for their money! lol
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read the heading I thought you were going to own up to a certain Mr. Peanut photo!!!LOL
That little plane is obviously fueled with testosterone. Excellent boy card!!!
