It's the first Sunday of the month and that means it's time for a new theme at
Stamping Sensations.
This month everyone gets to select their own theme, so anything goes with
stamping! Our prize comes from Stix 2 and the winner will receive a fabulous prize package of mount foam, foil,
glitter and various glues and tapes.
So for my theme I selected "Forms of Transportation" and I made a masculine
card.
The stamp set is an older Tim Holtz stamp set -
The Journey, but I've only just
recently purchased it because I really don't have that many masculine
stamps.
The background was done using
Cracked Pistachio
Distress Oxide ink and I flicked some water onto the inked background for a
fun reaction. A couple of stencils (Penny Black
Oscillations and Stampers Anonymous mini tile stencil - sorry can't find a link) and a stamp that was part of the same set
was used on the background for some more interest.
Chipped Sapphire
Distress ink was used to stamp the vintage car. The image panel was then cut
out using a
Deckle die by Sizzix. Before
adhering my card front I stenciled in some stripes with the
Classy Stripes
stencil.
I always find stars work well for masculine cards and I found these in my box
of extra die cuts from previous projects so I added them. The sentiment is
from one of Penny Black's critter sets. I like this simple font for masculine
cards.

It's a great masculine card Ellie, the green backdrop is perfect for stamping in black as it keep nice clean lines and the sentiment finishes it nicely.
